List the Hazards associated with Oxygen Systems and Halon Extinguishers |
Oxygen -> Never use oil or grease on oxygen equipment - they can cause explosions. Keep oxygen clear (50m) of all sparks, flames or any source of ignition eg cigarette smoking. Hands, footwear, clothing, etc, must be clean and free of hydrocarbons when handling oxygen equipment. Use only approved solvents and cleaning agents when degreasing and cleaning oxygen equipment. Halon Fire Extinguishers -> Halon fire extinguishers contain a liquefied gas agent under pressure. When released, the liquid gas agent vapour uses and extinguished the fire. The extinguisher is effective on all types of fires, but primarily on electrical, fuel, and grease fires. A fire extinguished by halon may produce decomposition byproducts, utilisation of oxygen or evac is recommended until ventilation is established. If a fire extinguisher is to be discharged in the flight deck, all crew shall wear oxygen masks 100% oxygen with emergency selected |
