- Respiratory protection (if necessary).
- Gloves to prevent cold burns.
- Anti-slip footwear to reduce the risk of accidents.
Check the surrounding environment to ensure it is safe for operation. Ensure that there is no overcrowding and that the area is well-ventilated.
CO2 is denser than air and can accumulate in poorly ventilated areas, posing a suffocation risk. Proper ventilation is crucial to prevent this. Here are some tips to ensure adequate ventilation:
- Ensure there are no obstructions in the ventilation path, such as curtains or furniture.
- Place exhaust fans to help circulate air and prevent CO2 accumulation.
- Maintain a minimum distance from seating or crowd areas to allow for proper airflow.
- Use a CO2 detection system to monitor CO2 levels in real-time.
Proper ventilation is one of the most critical safety requirements for operating a CO2 confetti machine. Below are some steps to ensure proper ventilation:
In case of a CO2 leak or excessive build-up, immediately shut down the machine and evacuate the area. Here is a step-by-step emergency shutdown procedure:
