Yunku Industrial Safety

The answer to this question is yes. Oxygen is a combustion-supporting gas. If the oxygen concentration is too high, it will cause the oxygen concentration in the air reaches the combustible range, and there are serious safety risks such as fire and explosion. In addition, too high oxygen concentration may also lead to physiological disorders of the human body, headache, nausea, breathing difficulties and other symptoms, and even lead to coma, choking and other dangerous situations. When its content exceeds a certain concentration, it is easy to cause explosion when mixed with combustibles and met with open flame. Therefore, when operating in a confined space, the oxygen concentration must be strictly controlled to ensure that it does not exceed the standard.

Such as basements, tunnels, pipes, containers, etc. These spaces usually pose a threat to the life safety and health of operators due to poor ventilation and insufficient oxygen content. Therefore, when operating in a confined space, corresponding safety measures must be taken to ensure the safety and health of operators. If there are flammable and explosive substances in a confined space, such as natural gas, petroleum gas, etc., once it encounters an ignition source such as an open flame or an electric spark, it will also cause an explosion accident. In addition, the high oxygen content in the confined space will also pose a threat to the life safety of the operators. If the operators are not adapted to the high oxygen environment, symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting may occur, and in severe cases may even lead to suffocation or death. Therefore, when operating in a confined space, it is necessary to conduct training and health checks for operators to ensure that they have the ability to adapt to high-oxygen environments.

There is a real risk of explosion when oxygen exceeds the standard in confined space. In order to ensure the safety of operation, appropriate safety measures must be taken, such as controlling the content of oxygen, using ventilation equipment, wearing protective clothing, etc. At the same time, training and health checks for operators are also essential. Only in this way can the safety risks of confined space operations be effectively reduced.
