Safe Handling Guidelines for Dry Ice
FACTS ABOUT DRY ICE
Dry ice is the frozen form of carbon dioxide. When heated, most frozen solids melt to a liquid form, but dry ice transforms directly into a gas (sublimation). Dry ice sublimes at temperatures at or above -109°F (-78°C).
The main hazards of dry ice include asphyxiation and burns. Use of dry ice in confined spaces (small rooms or
walk-in coolers) and/or poorly ventilated areas can result in depletion of oxygen, causing asphyxiation. Exposed skin should be protected from contact with dry ice. To ensure appropriate controls are in place, review the Dry Ice Safety Data Sheet BEFORE accessing the contents from the thermal shipping container and consult with your Occupational Health Department.
