The radiation level from a distance of more than two meter from the level guard´s radiation shield is so low that employees can work throughout the entire day. Any presence closer than two meter should be limited to only a few hours per week. Prior to any repair work on sources of radiation, the company´s contact person for protection against radiation should be contacted; se list of telephone numbers on page 15.

Gas risk Propane in the form of gas cylinders, for example, is used at Nymölla Mill. It is explosive and heavier than air and consequently, the gas can remain on the ground, floor or in low spaces under conditions of weak air current. Gas cylinders should, after work, only be kept in specially marked location. Sulfur dioxide gas is produced and used in acid preparations in the boiler house. It may also be found in the digester. Gas in the form of hydrogen sulfide can form in purification plants and sewer lines. It is highly flammable and can be poisonous if inhaled. At high concentration levels, it blunts the sense of smell so the gas can be considered odorless. Breathing apparatus must be brought to work locations where gas may be present. Rescue equipment is available in the control room, workshops at the pulp plant and the storage unit. In the event of a gas leak or the build-up of gas, notify the contact person.

Underage personnel Persons under the age of 18 must have the contact person’s approval to gain access to Nymölla Mill´s grounds, and the approval applies only to risk-free areas.
