A suspected leak in a boiler room must be treated as an actual incident until proven otherwise. The priority is the safety of personnel and the prevention of ignition sources.
Installation sequence
The site's emergency procedure is applied, the designated isolation systems are activated, and the responsible personnel are notified.
Avoidance of spark-generating actions
Do not arbitrarily operate electrical appliances or equipment that could create an ignition source in a suspected atmosphere.
Atmospheric monitoring
The presence of gas is checked using an appropriate and calibrated instrument, in accordance with the installation's procedures.
Ventilation
The designated ventilation system is used in accordance with the site's design. Do not improvise with equipment that is not suitable for the area.
Restarting
Operations are restored only after the cause has been identified and repaired, the required leak tests have been performed, and the atmosphere has been confirmed safe.
