INTRODUCTION

JetChill Ltd supply products which enable entertainment operators to provide their
customers with smoking drinks.

Solid carbon dioxide (Dry Ice) is dispensed from a gas cylinder via a filling nozzle into

drinking vessels. Alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages are then poured into the drinking
vessel creating a chemical reaction with the Dry Ice.

JetChill have endeavoured to ensure that their products are safe when used in
accordance with the instructions contained in this manual, JetChill have sought
independent evaluation on the safety of these products from Trading Standards, a UK
Public Analyst and a National Drinks Gas supplier who all confirm that the product when
used as intended poses no risks to health or safety.

JetChill Ltd cannot be held responsible for any injuries or claims, both civil and criminal,

caused by the use of the equipment and products contrary to these guidelines.

INTRODUCTION - Disclaimer

You are now the proud owner of JetChill equipment which will enable you to give your
customers a truly exhilarating experience when consuming certain alcoholic drinks.

JetChill drinks use dry ice (solid carbon dioxide gas) to react with room temperature
liquids to provide a smoking effect to the drink.

Dry ice is a ‘food safe’ substance but there are health and safety hazards associated with
the very low temperature of this product, which means it must be handled with care.
Uncontrolled, exposure to dry ice will cause freezer burns to skin. Consumption of dry ice
crystals or pellets can cause burns to the oesophagus and stomach.

JetChill provides dispensing equipment certified by CE and NSF. This includes the carbon
dioxide cylinder, the ‘JetChill’ dry ice dispenser and the associated, safe drinking vessel
into which the dry ice is inserted under pressure. Finally, JetChill also provides the
alcoholic beverage which is dispensed into the drinking vessel. This user manual outlines
fully how the JetChill equipment is to be used safely.

Once small amounts of dry ice have been dispensed into the JetChill drinks vessel, the
alcoholic liquid is added by the server or by the customer. The chemical reaction
between the alcoholic beverage and the dry ice is almost instant and will last for several
minutes. The drink can be consumed at any point after the liquid has been added, during
the chemical reaction and after the subsidence of the chemical reaction.

Whilst small deposits of dry ice can be released into drinks during consumption, the risks
to health from these small amounts (a maximum of 0.05g per dispense) are not
considered to present a risk to the human health (see scientific data in the appendices).
Dry ice is dispensed into the bottom of the drinking vessel where it is kept separate from

the liquid by a perforated ‘separator’. It is this separator that prevents the dry ice from

being consumed by the customer. Where solid dry ice pellets are used, these are also
kept in a separate section of the drinking vessel so as to prevent accidental ingestion.

The dry ice is not considered to cause any food safety concerns and will not render the
alcoholic drink injurious to health, nor will it render it unfit for consumption. There are
safety hazards associated with the handling and use of the JetChill equipment, but no
more so those associated with the handling of cellar gases. Safe systems of work are
addressed in later sections of this manual.

It is essential that users of the equipment are suitably trained and can demonstrate they

are competent to use the equipment safely. Training information is contained in this

manual. It will be the venue operator/employer’s responsibility to ensure that all staff
and any self-employed or contracted personnel engaged to dispense the smoking drinks,
are competent to use the equipment.

INTRODUCTION - Acoura Overview

Acoura Ltd, Environmental Health Consultants with extensive experience in the leisure
and hospitality industry, were appointed by the Directors of JetChill to review the health
and safety hazards and risks associated with using equipment and solid carbon dioxide
powder to produce foaming or smoking drinks for consumption in the leisure and
entertainment markets.

The Directors wanted to ensure that the products they were providing to the

entertainment industry were inherently safe and unless operational procedures were
abused, would not cause harm to the operators producing the drinks or the customers
consuming the drinks.

Outcome of Review

Acoura Ltd, and in particular, Pat Perry, reviewed the procedures for creating the smoking
drinks.

The operation of the equipment was demonstrated.
The solid carbon dioxide substances were reviewed.

The procedures for mixing the drinks were reviewed.

Technical details e.g. Safety Data Sheets for the solid carbon dioxide were reviewed.

Research was carried out to establish whether solid carbon dioxide when used in the
entertainment drinks industry was the cause of numerous accidents. A review of on-site
procedures was undertaken by an Enforcement Authority in Newcastle and the officer
involved was contacted to establish whether he had any concerns over safety.

A comprehensive Health & Safety Information Folder was developed which JetChill could
distribute with its equipment thus providing the operators with information regarding
hazards and risks. Risk Assessments were completed which could be made ‘site specific’

by the site operators. Manufacturer’s information was reviewed and included in the

Manual.

Training material was evaluated and further developed so that every operator would
have definitive information to understand the hazards and risks and the tools to be able
to cascade the training to operators who would fill the drinking vessels with solid carbon
dioxide and liquids.

Conclusion

There is always an inherent risk associated with many activities i.e. there is the potential
to cause harm and the severity of that harm would be variable. There is an inherent risk

associated with using solid carbon dioxide - it has a temperature below minus 78oC. It

causes severe skin burns on impact. When mixed with liquid, Dry Ice (as solid carbon
dioxide is known) will sublime into a gaseous state which creates the ‘smoking’ effect.
Carbon dioxide gas is an asphyxiant and in high concentrations it may cause asphyxiation.

It is unlikely that the volume of gas generated from mixing the JetChill carbon dioxide
powder with an alcoholic/non alcoholic beverage will be harmful if inhaled.

The hazards associated with using the JetChill drinks dispensing System are considered to
be low provided all operators are trained, the correct equipment is used, including the
proprietary drinking vessels provided by JetChill and the correct operating procedures are
followed. The hazards of ‘ice’ burns - to skin and or throat (when drinking Dry Ice) is
controlled by the fact that the Dry Ice powder cannot be touched by the customer nor
inadvertently consumed because they are trapped in the bottom of the drinking vessel.

The Dry Ice powder also sublimates quickly once it comes into contact with a beverage.

The use of carbon dioxide as Dry Ice is not of the same risk as using liquid nitrogen. Liquid
nitrogen has been used in the production of ‘entertainment’ drinks and there have been
severe consequences for the end users. The use of liquid nitrogen is NOT advocated by
JetChill and its products do not contain any element of liquid nitrogen.

Overall Assessment Regarding Health & Safety Law

The use of solid carbon dioxide powder together with small quantities of alcoholic or non­alcoholic drinks, when dispensed the suitable, proprietary, JetChill drinking vessels is
deemed to be LOW RISK in respect of harm to the end consumers.

The dispensing of solid carbon dioxide into drinking vessels and the mixing with liquids is
considered to be LOW RISK to operators provided they follow the safe operating
procedures, Risk Assessments and other instructions provided by JetChill.

The storage of carbon dioxide Cylinders creates risks of gas leakage/explosion should
Cylinders be stored inappropriately. Operators are expected to follow the safe operating
and storage procedures.

Appropriate steps have been taken to evaluate the risks to operators and end consumers
from dispensing and consuming drinks containing solid carbon dioxide and overall the risk

category is:

LOW

The drinking vessels provided by JetChill have been designed to be as indestructible as
possible if used in a reasonably everyday way. Extreme force will cause the vessel to
break but everyday use and some purposeful abuse e.g. crushing by foot, will not shatter
the product.

Because of the robustness of the drinking vessel it is considered unlikely that the
customer can come into direct contact with the dry ice and therefore the risk of frostbite

burns is minimal.

The drinking vessel is designed with a Safety Chamber in the Base into which the Dry Ice
is automatically injected into.

The Cocktail Glass has a removable cap in the base. This cap contracts when it comes
into contact with Dry Ice meaning it cannot be easily opened by customers by hand
which prevents direct contact with the dry ice. The cap is also concealed so it is not
obvious to customers that it can be unscrewed. The Shot Glass does not have a
removable base.

The drinking vessel can be washed in a standard glass washer and should be heat treated

to 80ºC to ensure thorough sterilisation.

Any damaged drinking vessels should be disposed of (local recycling schemes may apply).

The Glasses are made from food grade Polycarbonate.

DRY ICE/CARBON DIOXIDE CYLINDERS - Safe Use & Storage

1. Physical Properties and Handling

Gaseous state

At normal temperature (+15°C) and atmospheric pressure CO2 has a density of 1.87
kg/m3 and is 1.5 times heavier than air. It is a colourless and odourless gas (with a slightly
pungent odour at high concentrations) and spreads along the ground collecting in low­lying areas such as pits and cellar.

Carbon dioxide is classified as a nontoxic gas but it does start to affect breathing at
concentrations of about 1%, with affects becoming more serious with increasing
concentrations.

Carbon dioxide is a non-flammable gas.

Liquid State

Carbon dioxide can exist as a liquid below the critical temperature of 31°C and above the
triple point with a temperature of -56.6°C and 4.18 bar gauge (bar).

CO2 is transported, stored and handled in liquid form, either at ambient temperature (in
cylinders or not insulated storage tanks at a pressure of 45 - 65 bar) or refrigerated (in
insulated tankers and storage tanks) at a temperature range of -35°C to 15°C and a
pressure of 12 to 25 bar. The CO2 in this state, is a liquid at its boiling point.

Below the triple point CO2 can only exist in the solid and gas phase. Therefore the liquid
CO2 cannot exist at atmospheric pressure. When the liquid CO2 is depressurised below
the triple point pressure of 4.18 bar to atmospheric pressure it is transformed to dry ice
and gas. Consequently when the liquid CO2 is released to the atmosphere a dense white
fog of powdery solid carbon dioxide particles and vapour is produced.

Solid state (Dry ice)

The expansion of liquid CO2 to atmospheric pressure is used to produce CO2 snow at a
temperature of -78.5°C. The snow is pressed to dry ice blocks or pellets.

Dry ice is handled in insulated containers.

Chemical Properties

Carbon dioxide does not support combustion. When dissolved in water, carbonic acid
(H2CO3) is formed. The pH - value of carbonic acid varies from 3.7 at atmospheric
pressure to 3.2 at 23.4 bar.

.

The carbonic acid provides the biting taste of soda water and it reacts in alkaline solutions
producing carbonates. It has very few vigorous reactions with other substances except
under conditions of high temperature and pressure in the presence of reactive substances
such as sodium and magnesium.

For this reason carbon dioxide should not be used as a fire extinguishing agent for

reactive metals like sodium and magnesium.

2. Hazards of Carbon Dioxide

Substantial Release of Carbon Dioxide

Any substantial release of carbon dioxide is potentially hazardous especially inside a
poorly ventilated building. Enclosed low-lying areas, where CO2 gas could accumulate in
high concentration, are particularly hazardous because the gas is slow to disperse unless
the spaces are well ventilated.

In case of a substantial release of carbon dioxide in confined areas, evacuate all personnel

as soon as possible. Never enter such areas before they are properly ventilated.

When confined spaces must be entered before they are properly ventilated, the person
entering such areas must be well trained and wear self-contained air breathing apparatus.

Canister respirators give no protection in atmospheres containing dangerous
concentrations of carbon dioxide.

A second, also well trained person should be connected with a rope to the person
entering the gas filled area, for rescue purposes.

Substantial releases of carbon dioxide may occur through:

• Failure of the cylinder or pipe work containing carbon dioxide.

• Release from a relief valve or bursting disc.

• Inadvertent opening of a drain or vent valve while the system contains CO2.

• Failure of connections, e.g. flexible hoses, flanges etc.

• Failure of a regulating device resulting in gas release through the body vent holes.

Low Temperature of Product: Extreme Cold The snow produced from leaks of liquid
carbon dioxide is extremely cold (-78.5°C) and may cause frost bites if touched with bare
hands. If carbon dioxide snow comes into contact with the eyes it may cause severe eye
injury.

Touching of pipes and connections containing liquid carbon dioxide may cause frost bite.
Where there has been a major release of gas, the atmosphere will be very cold and
visibility is likely to be limited. These factors can make escape or rescue difficult.

DRY ICE/CARBON DIOXIDE CYLINDERS - Safe Use & Storage

Dry Ice Plugs in Pipes and Hoses

Dry ice plugs can be formed inside hoses and piping when liquid carbon dioxide is
decreased below its triple point pressure of 4.18 bar. The dry ice can be compacted into a
plug which can trap gas.

The pressure behind or within a plug may increase as the dry ice sublimes until the plug is
forcibly ejected or the hose or pipe ruptures. A dry ice plug may be ejected from an open
end of hose or pipe with enough force to cause serious injury to personnel, both from the
impact of the dry ice plug and/or the sudden movement of the hose or pipe as the plug
ejects. Liquid carbon dioxide must be purged from the hose or pipe before reducing the
pressure below 5 bar. This can be done by supplying carbon dioxide vapour to one end of
the hose or piping system to maintain the pressure above the triple point while removing
the remaining liquid from the other end.

Cylinder labelling

Cylinders are labelled in accordance with national regulations.

Users of carbon dioxide are advised to carefully read and observe the precautionary
information on the labels. If a cylinder is not clearly marked it should not be used and the
Supplier should be contacted.

NOTE - It is unlawful to remove cylinder labels/marking.

Some cylinders have an additional label on the body or valve guard. This contains
important information on the use of cylinders which should be carefully read and
observed.

Typical Cylinder Label

DRY ICE/CARBON DIOXIDE CYLINDERS - Safe Use & Storage

3. Carbon Dioxide cylinders used in Food and Medical applications contain additional

information according to legal requirements.

Cylinder Position

Cylinders without syphon (dip) tubes must only be used in the vertical position with the
valve uppermost. They are for the discharge of CO2 gas at limited flow rates. If the
cylinders are not used in the vertical position they could discharge liquid.

Pre Use Check

For ambient temperatures above 22°C care should be taken to ensure gas is present at the
cylinder valve before connection i.e. there is no snow present. Note this action should be
done in a suitably ventilated area.

Cooling Effect

As gas is discharged, liquid will evaporate and the gas pressure will be maintained. With
the cooling effect produced by evaporation, it is quite normal for a layer of frost to form
on the outside of the cylinder during discharge. The gas flow will be limited by the rate at
which the heat required for evaporation can enter the cylinder and any attempt to obtain
a higher flow will result in reduced supply pressure.

NOTE - Excessive flow rates may result in the formation of 'dry ice" in the cylinder which
will then be apparently empty. However, any 'dry ice' will sublime and restore pressure
within the cylinder as it warms up. Dry ice has a surface temperature of -78.5°C and care
should be taken to avoid frost burns.

4. Cylinder Handling

General Handling Instructions

Before handling cylinders note should be taken of Manual Handling Regulations. Cylinders
must be handled at all times as high pressure containers. Particular care must be taken to
avoid violent external blows on the cylinder or valve. Under no circumstance must the
cylinders be dropped or used as roller supports. Any cylinder which suffers visible damage
during handling or use must be set aside immediately and clearly marked. An assessment
of the apparent damage should be made by a competent person and further action then
agreed with the supplier.

Use Of Trolleys

Various types of proprietary trolleys are available for holding and moving one or more
cylinders at a time. These may be used to ensure safe handling. Care must be taken to
ensure the chain or other cylinder retaining arrangements are correctly secured before
movement.

DRY ICE/CARBON DIOXIDE CYLINDERS - Safe Use & Storage

Other Handling

If mechanical handling of cylinders is employed, with or without the use of pallets, care
must be taken that cylinders do not roll, shift or fall.

Protective Equipment

Protective gloves (preferably textile or leather) should be worn at all times for the manual

handling of cylinders, to minimise the risk of hand injury. During discharge, parts of the
cylinder and valve are likely to become very cold and therefore there is also the risk of
frostbite if the cylinders are handled with unprotected hands, particularly if hands are
wet.

The use of protective safety foot wear should also be considered for anyone handling
numbers of cylinders regularly.

CO2 cylinders contain a gas under pressure and the use of eye protection is recommended
when connecting and disconnecting cylinders.

5. Cylinder storage

Storage Recommendations

Outdoor storage is recommended where possible.

Carbon dioxide cylinders should be stored in an adequately ventilated area. In areas with
cold weather conditions it could be appropriate to store and use the cylinders indoors in a
heated room, although carbon dioxide cylinders should not be stored in warm areas.
Avoid storage in direct sunlight or near steam pipes, radiators or other sources of heat.
The temperature of a cylinder and its contents may not always correspond to ambient
temperature. There can be a considerable increase of temperature and pressure due to
exposure to sources of radiant heat.

6. Use of Carbon Dioxide

General Advice

It is important to ensure that equipment used is suitable for purpose.

During use the cylinder should be in the vertical position, with the valve uppermost and
the cylinder firmly secured against a wall or other suitable support.

Valve Operation

Cylinder valves supplied by gas companies open by turning anti-clockwise. They are of the
on/off type, which are unsuitable for flow control or pressure regulation. An additional
control valve must be incorporated with the ancillary equipment if flow control or
pressure regulation is required.

DRY ICE/CARBON DIOXIDE CYLINDERS - Safe Use & Storage

Do not use excessive force or any form of wrench to open the valve. If the valve spindle
will not move, this will indicate that the valve operating mechanism has been damaged.
The cylinder must then be labelled to indicate the fault and returned to the supplier.

Equipment

Ensure the equipment coupled to the cylinder has the correct thread.

All installed ancillary equipment, such as valves, piping, hoses or other fittings, coupled
directly to a cylinder must be leak tight and designed and constructed for high pressure
CO2 use. Any equipment which is of doubtful design or origin must not be employed.

Operation

Turn off the cylinder valve when CO2 is not required.

Operating instructions should be clearly laid down and displayed in the working area
concerned with the cylinder installation and associated equipment. Reference must be
made to the detailed equipment data and instructions available from suppliers when
operating instructions are prepared.

Safety Considerations

Pipework shall have safety devices to protect against pressure rises above its design
pressure. In any system where there is a possibility of other materials or products
returning to the cylinder, causing contamination and possible corrosion, a non return
valve must be fitted.

Heaters may be used to prevent ice formation inside regulators.

No attempt should be made to seal any leaks until the equipment concerned has been
depressurised.

When the cylinder has been emptied, the valve should be closed, leaving a small positive

pressure in the cylinder to prevent contamination and internal corrosion. Some cylinders

are fitted with residual pressure devices. These maintain a small positive pressure within
the cylinder at all times.

After Use

After use, ensure that the pressure in the equipment has been released before the
cylinder is disconnected. Return the empty cylinder to the supplier as soon as possible.

DRY ICE/CARBON DIOXIDE CYLINDERS - Safe Use & Storage

Summary of recommendations

• Use suitable gloves for handling cylinders.

• Do not drag cylinders (this will cause wear to the base, especially for aluminium alloy

cylinders).

• For capped cylinders, ensure the cap is fitted when they are being stored or
transported.

• External damage of cylinders and valves (e.g. by welding or striking electric arcs or
impact by sharp objects) must be avoided.

• Do not use cylinders as rollers or work supports.

• Secure CO2 cylinders during transport on vehicles to prevent movement.

• A cold and wet or frosted cylinder could indicate a leakage and appropriate measures

should then be taken.

• Any stamping or means of identification must not be altered.

• Never heat cylinders e.g. by direct flame, electrical devices, or hot water, to raise the

pressure or the flow rate.

• Cylinders must never be directly connected to low pressure equipment.

• Cylinders used for the discharge of CO2 gas (without dip tube) must be connected to

a suitable reducing valve to obtain a desired pressure and flow rate.

• Cylinder valves are unsuitable for pressure and flow regulation.

• To prevent contamination and internal corrosion, the cylinder should be returned for

filling with a positive pressure.

• Do not attempt to transfer CO2 from one cylinder to another.

• Keep cylinder valve outlets and other CO2 equipment free from contaminants.

• Do not repair or modify cylinders, cylinder valves or safety relief devices (bursting

discs). Any damage should be made known to the supplier.

Refilling

For safety reasons cylinders owned and supplied by companies may only be filled by, or
on the authority of that company.

Maintenance

The cylinders and any associated equipment are a high pressure installation and
arrangements must be made to ensure that it is covered by an adequate system of
inspection and maintenance. National regulations require owners of cylinders used in CO2
service to inspect internally and externally and hydraulically test at regular intervals.

Action in the event of fire

Evacuate the area and call the emergency services.

Carbon Dioxide And Fire

No fire risk will arise with CO2, which is non-flammable, but care needs to be taken if the
fire is in an area adjacent to a CO2 storage area or usage point. A rise in the outside
temperature will rapidly be transmitted to the contents of the cylinders and the internal
pressures will increase.

DRY ICE/CARBON DIOXIDE CYLINDERS - Safe Use & Storage

If pressures reach the design pressure of the safety bursting discs, these will rupture and
discharge the contents to atmosphere. If possible, cylinders should be moved immediately
away from the area to a safe cool place. However, since the product is non-flammable,
and in view of the safe guard afforded by the cylinder bursting discs, no serious risks
should be taken by personnel in attempting removal.

Firefighting efforts should otherwise be concentrated on isolating cylinders from heat and
flames as far as possible and spraying them with water to keep contents cool.

If any cylinder is involved in a fire, it must be set aside, clearly marked and the supplier
must then be contacted immediately. If the metal of the cylinder has been subjected to a
high temperature, some change in the metal structure may occur, rendering the cylinder
unfit and dangerous for further use as a pressurised container.

Action In The Event Of A Gas Leak

Evacuate personnel from areas where a high concentration of CO2 could accumulate and
away from the point of leakage. Where practicable, steps should be taken to isolate the
leakage. Provided that the evacuation procedure is put into effect, the escape of CO2 is
unlikely to cause harm to personnel or property. No serious risks should therefore be
taken by personnel attempting to isolate the leakage. Personnel should otherwise
concentrate on ensuring evacuation of all affected areas is complete.

Areas affected by CO2 gas should be entered with extreme caution. Self-contained
breathing apparatus (minimum half hour) must be worn by personnel attempting to
rescue or isolate leakage.

7. First Aid (exposure to CO2 gas)

Inhalation

In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of
mobility/consciousness. Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation. Low concentrations of
CO2 cause increased respiration and headache. Remove victim to uncontaminated area
wearing self-contained breathing apparatus. Keep victim warm and rested. Call a doctor.
Apply artificial respiration if breathing stopped.

Skin/Eye Contact

Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. In case of frostbite
spray with water for at least 15 minutes. Apply a sterile dressing. Obtain medical
assistance.

Ingestion

Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.

TRAINING

It is essential that those members of staff and others who are responsible for operating

the JetChill equipment, including the dispensing of the smoking drinks, are competent

and well trained in all aspects of the task.

Health & safety laws require that any employee, and others, who may be exposed to
risk whilst at work, or resorting to premises, shall have suitable training so that they can
recognise hazards and risks and understand the control measures which need to be put
in place to manage the risks.

Training needs to be constantly refreshed as people forget things and then start making
assumptions about how to do things, use equipment.

Training should cover the safe operating procedures required for using the equipment.

JetChill have produced a User Guide in the following section that can be followed to
train Operators. Please also refer to the Dry Ice/Carbon Dioxide Cylinder and COSHH
sections.

It will be sensible for all employers and responsible persons to record who has been
trained and when, and a staff training record template has been included.

COSHH

COSHH - Introduction

Carbon dioxide and its solid state, dry ice, are classified as a hazardous substance as
they have the potential to cause harm.

In normal usage, with appropriate safety procedures, the hazards are deemed to be

minimal.

Carbon dioxide and dry ice have the potential to cause skin burns similar to frostbite as
the product is at an extremely cold temperature

If dry ice is ingested in any quantity it could cause throat and stomach burns due to the
extremely low temperature of the product.

Carbon dioxide gas in high concentrations may cause asphyxiation with symptoms of
loss of mobility/consciousness.

Staff and others using the equipment provided by JetChill and who follow the safety

procedures and training given are not likely to be exposed to any serious hazards from
the use of carbon dioxide and dry ice.

The storage of carbon dioxide cylinders must be carried out in accordance with industry
best practice and this has been covered in the manual.

The Safety Data Sheet for food fresh carbon dioxide is included in this section.

Emergency/First Aid Procedure

These are listed in the attached Safety Data Sheet and on the detailed COSHH

Assessment.

Contact skin burns are best treated by applying clean water for approx. 15 minutes,
applying a burn or other dressing and seeking medical attention.

Inhalation of the carbon dioxide gas is possible if the storage area is poorly ventilated
and gas is leaking from cylinders. A carbon dioxide detector will alert everyone to high
levels of gas concentration. Rooms must be properly ventilated and anyone affected by
the gas must be removed from the area and given basic first aid whilst medical
assistance is sought.

Relevant safety data sheets

Completed by:

Acoura Ltd

Date:

September 2015

The UK Confined Space Regulations 1997 (SI 1713) require an employer assessment of
the risks posed by dangers such as asphyxiation, explosion, fire and toxic substances, in

any space which presents such a hazard.

It also requires the provision of ‘safe Systems of work’ and appropriate rescue plans.

More information can be found at the following link:

http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg258.pdf

Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (SI 3242),
employers are required to assess the risks of each process and task undertaken in the
enterprise.

Asphyxiation

One of the most dangerous risks associated with Dry Ice and CO2 gas use is
asphyxiation caused by the reduction of oxygen in the atmosphere due to gases
leakage. Systems used to carry gases to their point of use should be leak free. All joints
must frequently be tested with an approved leak test .

Guidance notes

As an owner or manager you have a legal responsibility to make sure that your staff can
work safely without risking injury or damage to health. For further information, visit
www.boconline.co.uk/health/gas_safety/gas_risks.

Gas monitoring

Gas monitors indicate the level of a specific gas in an area.
Gas monitors are also available to assist in the indication of increased risk.
Monitors indicate where a problem exists, but they do not solve the issue.

Ventilation

JetChill equipment must always be operated in a well ventilated area.

Risk assessment

Full risk assessments are vital.

It is important to understand that operators may be adversely affected.

Powder

Powder is

minus 79oC, large

surface area means powder
sublimates quickly and turns
to ice once drink is added

So there is no need to
dispose of powder after use

Compact

RISK ASSESSMENTS

It is the responsibility of every employer to assess the risks of their work activities to
employees and others who may be affected i.e. customers, members of the public.

The sale of smoking drinks has the potential to be a hazardous activity if proper
procedures are not followed and persons can be affected by freeze burns and general
discomfort if they come in to contact with Dry Ice.

In addition, the dispensing of the Dry Ice using carbon dioxide Cylinders and the
charging mechanism can be hazardous if proper and safe procedures are not followed.

JetChill has drafted generic Risk Assessments for the use of their equipment and the
sale/serving of the smoking drinks. It is recommended that you use the generic
assessments and further develop these to reflect the conditions at your own venue.
Add extra risk assessments if you will be using the JetChill equipment in any ways or for
any activities in addition to those covered.

Licence holders/users of the equipment are responsible for completing their own site
specific Risk Assessments and can use their own standard Risk Assessment template or
the blank template included in this section.

The important aspect of any risk assessment is the pragmatic review of potential
hazards and risks and the implementation of control measures so that those hazards
and risks are reduced to the lowest acceptable level, including elimination.

Once the risk assessment has been completed it must be communicated to staff and
they must be provided with appropriate training.

It is recommended that you include any copies of site specific risk assessments in this
section.

RISK ASSESSMENTS

RISK ASSESSMENT - Example

N.B. This sheet is intended to be read as an example Risk Assessment ONLY. The

Dear Colin,

As requested please find the statement provided by our Marketing Team below. This is has

been provided for the purpose of clarifying your recent H&S enquiry and cannot be

published.

The mechanism that is used by Jet Chill, ie. using food fresh liquid CO2 to form a snow in
the bottom of the glass via their equipment was viewed as being of a low risk providing
that the proper process was followed and the Jet Chill glassware used. The 'snow'
generated by the liquid was viewed by BOC to be less dense and pose a much reduced
risk.

Yours sincerely,

Nicola Smith

Account Manager

There are a lot of concerns around the safe storage, use and consumption of dry-ice
drinks. We are confident that Jet Chill equipment provides the means of dispensing dry ice
pellets into our glasses which is safe. Despite our confidence, there are a number of
common questions which are answered below:

1. Question: Consumption of Dry Ice Isn’t dry ice dangerous when swallowed?

Answer: Yes! But the equipment has been designed to prevent you from doing just that.

The dry ice is added into the bottom of the specially designed container which prevents it
from escaping into the drink. The dangers include the contact with skin, however the
small quantities and differences in temperature between the pellets and the inside of the
mouth would prevent this.

Dry ice when consumed will release gas, however to put this into perspective, 1gram of
dry ice will liberate 500ml of carbon dioxide approximately half of that contained within a
normal can of fizzy drink. The worst case scenario would see small pieces (no bigger than

0.1g) of dry ice get into the drink

What this means is that the small amounts used cannot cause the tragic events seen in
recent times as a result of consumption of liquid nitrogen, which by comparison has the
capacity to liberate double this amount in nitrogen gas.

2. Question: Aren’t there health and safety risks associated with the accidental release
of carbon dioxide in the workplace?

Answer: The worst case scenario. Even without mishandling or incorrect operation of the

CO2 cylinder, there is an inherent possibility of the complete release of the cylinder's
contents via operation of the bursting disk in the back or side of the cylinder v/v. As this
release would be very rapid, there is no need to factor in the rate of air-change for the
room where this might occur.

A 6.35kg [nominal contents] cylinder would, under these circumstances, generate 3.3 m3
of CO2 gas fully expanded. The WEL value [COSHH] for CO2 exposure over an 8 hr period
is 5000ppm (or 0.5% by vol.). Consequently, if we assume that the room has a volume of >
or = 660 m3 then the concentration of CO2 (if evenly distributed throughout the air
column) cannot exceed this concentration (i.e. 3.3/660 = 0.005 or, 0.5%). This would
represent a room of 12 metres x 10 metres x 3 metres high.

As CO2 vapour is ~1.5 times heavier than air, the vapour (even when warmed to ambient
temperature) will tend to collect at low level - below the breathing zone of persons who
are standing or seated (in a room of 12 metres x 10 metres the layer of gas at ground level
would be ~3cm deep).

APPROVAL - Gas Safety (Gas Safety Company (GSC))

This scenario has low likelihood and potentially serious consequences in small and poorly
ventilated rooms (like bar cellars). As a result, it would be prudent for such spaces to be
equipped with electronic CO2 detection and a sounder beacon alarm arrangement. The
alarm settings for offices are typically ~0.15% CO2 gives warning alarm and 0.3% CO2
would be the evacuation alarm.

3. Question: Are there risks of carbon dioxide building up during the normal use of the
JetChill machine?

Answer: The release of CO2 vapour that occurs under normal operating conditions would,

by comparison, tend to be slower and, as a result, the rate of air change could also be
considered.

If the CO2 consumption rate is represented by: 0.05 m3 gas per drink served and if a
serving rate of up to 70 drinks/hour could be envisaged, then the rate of release would
approximate to: 3.5m3/hr.

With an air-change rate of 1 per hour then (to a first approximation) the room volume
effectively doubles. As a result, a room with a volume of 330 m3 (i.e. 11 metres x 10
metres x 3 metres high) and an air change rate of 1/hr would have an equilibrium
concentration of CO2 no greater than 0.5% by volume if evenly distributed.

Any venue looking to purchase and install the JetChill equipment that has no natural
ventilation or does not meet these dimensions should not consider installing it.

The likelihood will be that most (if not all) bars and restaurants would have sufficient air

handling capacity to cope with the expected occupancy levels. Note: an average person
generates ~0.06 m3 of CO2 per hour. This means that 55 people would release the same
amount of CO2 per hour as a 6.35kg cylinder during one hour.
