The use of cryogenic materials within both research and industrial environments continues to grow as new technologies gradually embrace the discipline. As these developments establish in more facilities around the world, there will be a consequential increase in the likelihood of cryogenic accidents happening. As the temperature range of cryogenic technologies has potential life-threatening significance to the human body, a greater awareness of the associated risks and how to mitigate hazards is crucial for their safe application. Reflecting and developing on best-practice guidance in the British Cryogenics Council's "Cryogenics Safety Manual", this book will explore these recognisable hazards along with the vast assortment of regulations which apply to the use of cryogenic materials.

Key Features

  • Focuses on the identification of the hazards associated with the use of cryogenic materials and how to mitigate their impact through the preparation of comprehensive risk assessments.
  • Written by an experienced engineer in the field of cryogenic safety; the author regularly presents cryogenic safety training.
  • Covers a practical safety handbook for scientific and industrial users of cryogenic technologies in both research and industrial environments.

  • Contains extensive references that will aid further research and study.

Industry Reviews

Overall, the book is well organized and well written. The main points of each chapter are nicely summarized, and extensive references provide links to additional information. While a more quantitative approach to some of the cryogenic hazards might have been preferred, such information exists in other texts and this book nicely complements the existing literature on cryogenic safety. The book is suitable for both students and professionals and contains useful information for the general public.
The Safe Use of Cryogenic Technologies is a valuable addition to the cryogenic safety literature. Its description of relevant cryogenic safety regulations from multiple authorities is quite noteworthy. This book is recommended for all personal and institutional libraries, particularly those in institutions with international collaborators. More and more, this applies to everyone.
