MIL-STD-1622B(SH)
immediate vicinity of all operations. Eye wash systems shall be capable of providing a minimum of 15 minutes of water for emergency flushing.
(h)Repeated contact with the skin may cause cracking and irritation.
Wear solvent resistant rubber gloves if contact with the hands
cannot otherwise be prevented. Clothing that becomes saturated
with solvent should be removed at once.
(i)The atmosphere in the space where the solvent is used shall be
continuously monitored. An alarm shall be set on the instrument
which will be activated when the solvent reaches its recommended
exposure criteria. The concentration of the solvent shall not be
allowed to exceed the recommended exposure criteria during a
normal working day. If the alarm sounds, immediately put on the
EEBD and promptly leave the space. Anyone re-entering the space
should wear self-contained breathing apparatus operated in a
pressure-demand mode.
(j)In the event of any adverse health effects are experienced, cease
operations involving halogenated solvents and contact the
cognizant medical department representative for additional
guidance. Should someone be overcome in a space which lacks
oxygen or because of the presence of a high solvent vapor
concentration, the person should be removed immediately and given
artificial respiration if necessary.
WARNING:
SOME HALOGENATED SOLVENTS CAN CAUSE CARDIAC SENSITIZATION. THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN MUST BE INFORMED OF THE HALOGENATED SOLVENT IN-USE. ADMINISTERING AN INJECTION OF EPINEPHRINE OR SIMILAR HEART STIMULANT CAN LEAD TO CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA, INCLUDING VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION IF THE SOLVENT IN-USE CAUSES CARDIAC SENSITIZATION. REGARDLESS OF THE SOLVENT IN-USE, THE PATIENT
SHOULD BE GIVEN FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO EXERT HIMSELF OR HERSELF.
(k)When drying with nitrogen, solvent vapors and nitrogen shall be externally vented away from populated areas. If this can not be accomplished, a gas free engineer shall be consulted. It may be necessary to use an oxygen monitor to ensure there is not an excessive dilution of oxygen in the air.
(l)Emergency rescue procedures shall be established, and proficiency documented to ensure that personnel can be safely removed in the event of hazardous exposures.
(m)Halogenated solvents used in contact with Diver Life Support Systems shall be completely drained and the components and piping placed in an oven and/or heated to assure all solvent is volatized and removed before assembly, test and operation. Samples as specified in 5.10.3 are required to confirm removal of all
solvent.
4.2.5.3 Disposal. Disposal of NAVSEA approved halogenated solvents shall be in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Used or contaminated halogenated solvent should be reclaimed for use by distillation or other appropriate method and inspected as specified in applicable specifications (see 6.3).
4.2.5.4 Compatibility. Appendix B gives the compatibility of NAVSEA approved halogenated solvents with various non-metallic materials. Where specific information is lacking, perform compatibility testing as specified in A.3 of Appendix A.
