Pressure equipments are commonly used in our institution. They are used either for research or are linked to buildings safety. Lack of maintenance or improper handling can lead to an explosion, implosion or breakage of fragile items (seals, windows, regulators) and may project shards at high velocity, cause shock waves, leakage of liquid or gas. Apart from the risks related to pressure, some devices have risks that depend on the nature of the product rejected: intoxication, inflammation, explosions. These are ==> Pressure vessels • (autoclave for sterilization, boiler, ...) • Gas (autoclave reaction, gas cylinder, compressor and enclosure ...) • liquid ==> Devices under vacuum (evaporator or lyophilizer chamber experience, ...) For obvious security reasons, only authorized persons can use autoclaves, these are :
