Ozone storage applications

For most sealing applications, attack by ozone is only likely during storage, and this can be reduced by packing the seals properly. With exterior seals, ozone attack is possible, and ozone-resistant rubbers should be selected. If this is not possible, anti-ozonants should be added to the compound. 

We have seen considerable detail of how to conduct a hazard analysis with an example of shooting lasers into the ozone layer and have also learned how to perform a facility hazard analysis. Though the processes of performing a hazard analysis and a facility hazard analysis are the same, it is still worthwhile to show very briefly the advantages of one application of facility hazard analysis—analyzing a hazardous waste storage facility, something all industries around the world must contend with.
