That means when chlorine gas gets in your eyes, it’s like splashing concentrated hydrochloric acid in your eyes, and you could go blind. If you inhale chlorine gas into your lungs it will mix with the moisture in your lungs and also make hydrochloric acid, which would be like drinking hydrochlo-ric acid. This makes chlorine gas a very deadly gas. OSHA requires whenever you work with chlorine gas you must have two people present: one in the chlorine room and one outside ob-serving. This is the OSHA manda-tory two man policy. Chlorine Gas Characteristics: • It is toxic and very corrosive • It is 2.5 times heavier than air. (It will collect in low places and will not float away without forced air ventilation • It has a greenish-yellow color and a very distinctive and pungent odor • It has a very high coefficient, which means it has a tendency to expand even further if the tempera-ture increases. It must be stored in storage facilities out of direct sunlight DEQ Chlorine Gas Facility Construction Requirements: • Chlorine gas must be stored in a facility by itself • There must be a window in the door to the facility • There must be a chlorine gas leak alarm system installed in the facility that will notify a 24-hour manned operation of a leak, fire station, police or main treatment facility. • The facility must have an opera-tional ventilation system that does one complete air change a minute.
