In the event a flammabletexplosive atmosphere is identified, all sources shall be eliminated, all employees removed form the work area and the location ventilated. In the case of tanks the interior shall be inserted with carbon dioxide (i.e. dry ice) prior to any additional handling. Care shall be taken to keep all field personal upwind during all tank inserting operations.
