Lox safety

I am looking for information on lox safety, and also on safety of high
pressure gaseous oxygen systems, especially materials compatibility.

Does anyone know of any useful books or online references?

Does anyone know of a gox/lox handling safety course? I am in the UK.

Thank you

Regarding courses, maybe the RAF/military? What about one of the airlines
or their maintenance companies?

An older version :

For gaseous systems, if you can, keeping the velocity low in the system is
a much preferred approach in minimizing ignition energies of any possible
particle contaminant.

Does anyone know of a gox/lox handling safety course? I am in the UK.

Sorry, not on that side of the Atlantic.

Try hospital safety documentation?

You might want to contact your local Gas supplier. This is what I did and
they had courses tailored to such things. In my case they were running a
custom course for a company that was similar to my needs so I attended that.
I'm not sure what their generic training offerings are like but worth a
shot. The one I used was Air liquide which I think also operate in the UK.

If your curious on the storage and handling side, it is also worth while to
contact your local authority for such things, in my case that is the fire
department, I found them more than willing to come out and give a unending
stream of comments, some seem banal but safety often is.

Eat them before they spoil, preferably on a bagel with cream cheese,
onions and kapers.

Mark this day down in history. Eric actually said something amusing
that he actually intended to be amusing.

And then capture the escaping methane to power your rocket

Yeah. NASA burned itself twice on underestimating oxygen.
First there was Apollo 1 then Apollo 13.
Me appreciates that you do your homework
