Greetings all from the briny deep! I am finally in a position to post on the thread now that the stock is back above 3! Love it and am not feeling the pain anymore. For those of you who kept the faith, well done! For those who saw fit to exit, hope to see you back onboard with the rest of us. Anyway, at the request of Brenda, Sri and some others I have taken the plunge and am now an offical SI Ozoner! Here's some more information that provides guidelines for ozone use in commercial establishments. I obtained this from United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service in support of research that I am conducting on ozone use in the commercial industry for my masters. I am typing this thing long hand instead of scanning it so pardon the typos! "Subject: Use of Ozone in the Establishments It has come to our attention that the inspectors in the field may need some background information regarding the current use of ozone as an antimicrobial in meat, poultry and egg establishments. The use of ozone is currently permitted in two areas in FSIS establishments. One use is in coolers designated for aging meat. The ozone concentration in the cooler air must be measured and recorded with appropriate devices and cannot exceed 0.1 parts per million (ppm). Furthermore, the ozone generating equipment must be turned off and the ozone dissipated before inspectors enter the coolers. Recently, ozone has been approved by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) for use as an antimicrobial to treat poultry prechiller water. This approval requires that water is taken outside the prechiller, treated with ozone, and the water returned to the prechiller. Ther treated water returning to the prechiller must not contain any ozone when reentering the prechiller i.e., ozone is not permitted to contact poultry directly. The inspector in charge (IIC) should be assured by the establishement through appropriate testing that no ozone is reentering the prechiller. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200 requires chemical manufacturers and importers to assess the hazards of the chemicals that they produce or import. Employers, such as FSIS, are required to provide information to their employees about the hazardous chemicals to which they are exposed. This information is provided through a hazard communication program, labels, material safety data sheets (MSDS), and training. FSIS policy on hazard communication is contained in FSIS Directive 4791.5 "Hazard Communication Program". Since meat and poultry establishments are mulit-employer workplaces, an establishment using ozone to which FSIS employees may be exposed must provide FSIS employees with access to a MSDS for ozone. The current OSHA standard for air contaminants, 29 CFR 1910.1000 states that the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for ozone is 0.1ppm for an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA). The Genium Publishing Corporation is one company that publishes MSDS information. They can be reached by phone at (518) 377-8854 or by mail at One Genium Plaza, Schenectady, NY 12304-4690. They do charge a fee for this information. MSDS information is also available on the internet." The memorandum was generated to address questions that USDA field inspectors had raised regarding the use of ozone. Good night mates, Captain
