Sucking air through the mouth is not allowed. 3.14. When emptying the bottles, do not leave acid in them. 3.15. Drainage from drums and tanks should be done by creating a vacuum, or with special acid-resistant pumps. All piping must be made of vinyl plastic or an equivalent material. The tank must be above the drain level. 3.16. Drainage works should be carried out in a gas mask, while the worker should be on the windward side. 3.17. When draining acids from a railway tank into a stationary tank, lower the discharge hose from the centrifugal pump into the upper neck of the tank, and not connect it to the drain pipe to avoid hydraulic shock when the pump is turned on. It is not allowed to work with concentrated acids outdoors in rain, blizzard and strong wind. 3.18. Drums with caustic soda should be transported on special trolleys. 3.19. Pour liquid caustic with a pump carefully, without splashing, and jelly-like caustic with a ladle on a long wooden or metal handle. 3.20. Fill bottles, tanks and other containers with acid or alkali to no more than 0,9 of their capacity. 3.21. The preparation of electrolytes is carried out in separate, specially equipped rooms under the guidance of a foreman with a permit for high-risk work. 3.22. When preparing a solution from a mixture of acids, introduce acids in ascending order of their density:
Acids are poured into water in a thin stream with thorough mixing. 3.23. Dissolve caustic alkalis in small portions with continuous stirring to avoid ejection of the solution. Alkali is added to the solution using devices that are slowly immersed in water. Adding water to a bath with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is allowed only in a cold solution in order to avoid splashing the solution out of the bath. 3.24. Filling baths with acids and liquid alkalis should be done using siphons with tight taps. The processes of filling large-volume baths with aggressive liquids, as well as pumping solutions from baths, are carried out with special acid-resistant pumps. 3.25. Transfusion of acid or alkali into baths by hand is allowed in exceptional cases only with the help of special devices that ensure the safe installation of the bottle, prevent splashing of the liquid and eliminate the release of vapors. 3.26. Before adding alkali to the oxidation bath, the electrolyte solution should be cooled to a temperature not exceeding 100°C; melt - until hardening. 3.27. To prevent the release of the solution from the oxidation baths during the adjustment of the solutions and the filling of the baths, use special devices (perforated buckets for dissolving alkali, pipes for supplying hot water reaching the bottom of the baths). 3.28. When preparing a hydroboric acid electrolyte, in order to avoid splashing out of the solution, add boric acid to the bath, and then lead carbonate mixed with water (in the form of a slurry) in small portions; the capacity of the bath should be 3 to 4 times the calculated volume of hydroboric acid, the bath should be water-cooled. 3.29. To reduce worker exposure to harmful fumes:
3.30. Discharge of electrolytes, solutions and water from the baths is carried out in a closed way. At the same time, the possibility of mixing different substances in the sewer network, which form toxic gases, vapors or dense sediments, as well as spontaneous combustion and explosion when mixed with water or other chemicals, should be excluded. 3.31. Electrolytes, solutions, water and other liquids, before being released from the baths into the sewer, should be directed to special sedimentation tanks or treatment facilities for appropriate treatment. 3.32. Keep the work area clean and free from clutter. 4. Safety requirements in emergency situations 4.1. If acid or alkali gets on an open part of the body, it is necessary to wash the affected areas with water, and then neutralize:
