By ordering a CO2 product from Atlanta Special FX, all parties agree the purchaser has done their own research and determined that the special effects produced by CO2 or liquid CO2 are safe for their intended use. The purchaser has also been instructed and agrees they are comfortable with the safe operation of their newly purchased CO2 products. Below are some additional safety guidelines that can assist you in making a decision to utilize CO2 effects.

The following are a few tips to follow for safe practice when using CO2 special effects products:

  1. Always install your CO2 jet or use your CO2 gun at a distance further than approximately 5 feet from any person in the direct line of fire
  2. Never shoot CO2 fog directly into someones face for any extended period of time as it will displace ambient breathing air and can cause asphyxiation
  3. Train your employees or any person who will be operating the CO2 equipment to use proper techniques and always know how to shut the tank off in case of an emergency.
  4. Do not allow any person under the influence of drugs or alcohol operate equipment
  5. Utilize an emergency shut off instruction sheet and place near the CO2 tank.
  6. Install or purchase from Atlanta Special FX a manual shut off valve and install it in an easily accessible area in case of an emergency
  7. CO2 blasts should be used sparingly and spaced out as follows:
  8. CO2 blast should be approximately 3-5 seconds in duration
  9. CO2 blasts should be no closer together than 15-30 minutes apart
  10. CO2 should be used in areas with proper ventilation and air circulation
  11. Do not use in small locations with no ventilation
  12. Atlanta Special FX always recommends the use of a CO2/O2 safety monitor.
