Use Princeton Cryo's High-Quality Cryogenic Equipment to Avoid Fines

Cryogenic freezing can certainly be dangerous. That's why we provide the best-quality cryogenic equipment possible to ensure the safety and effectiveness of all cryogenic freezing systems.

With our products you can avoid problems and fines like one large frozen pizza company who was cited for nine alleged safety and health violations. Of course, most of the fines were of a result of neglect of the company, but you can make the cryogenic freezing process easier with our products.

One of the citations was a violation of exposing workers to an oxygen deficient atmosphere.

"Employers are responsible for knowing the hazards that exist in their workplace and training workers in proper safety precautions such as air monitoring and respirator use," said Kim Stille, director of OSHA's Madison Area Office. "OSHA is committed to protecting workers, especially when employers fail to do so."

The fines totaled $76,300 after OSHA initiated an inspection of the pizza company's plant in June. The violations were issued when workers were exposed to an oxygen deficient environment during the freezing process of the pizzas in a liquid nitrogen cryogenic freezer. The cryogenic freezer created a hazardous environment due to the buildup of nitrogen gas; however, no injuries or illnesses were reported as a result of the conditions.

Other fines focused on the lack of training and implementation of safety equipment. These fines can greatly hurt any company that uses cryogenic equipment. That's why we, at Princeton Cryo, think it's important to use the best equipment in the market. We strive to create a safe environment no matter what the use of the cryogenic freezer.
