JSA #34 - N2 Purging

This Job Safety Analysis sheet provides safety precautions for nitrogen purging. The key steps are planning, purging, and windup/housekeeping. Planning involves isolating and depressurizing equipment, obtaining permits, and ensuring proper nitrogen supply. Purging requires calculating nitrogen needs, monitoring supply, and safely disposing of purged fluid. Windup requires disconnecting accessories, prohibiting entry into purged areas due to oxygen deficiency, and proper storage of materials. Hazards include pressurized fluids, nitrogen supply issues, unauthorized work, and improper tools or accessories. Precautions range from communication and permits to PPE, barricades, ventilation, and prohibiting unsafe acts.
