- Safety
When handling Hydrochloric acid the proper equipment must be used and the correct clothing must be worn. Special attention must be given to safe working conditions and safe-working practices must be implemented. Operators should be familiar with:
- The hazards surrounding of Hydrochloric acid.
- Proper emergency procedures.
- First Aid.
- Safety equipment.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Prevent release of vapor or mist into the workplace air. Always ensure adequate ventilation in handling areas. When diluting or preparing solutions, slowly add acid to water to avoid boiling or splattering. Use the smallest possible amounts in designated areas with adequate ventilation. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily available. Label containers. Keep containers closed.
SITING
- Fumes are emitted from HCl bulk storage tanks during storage and during off-loading.
- Fumes escaping during the offloading procedure are more serious.
- Bulk storage tanks should be located in an isolated area away from buildings.
