OSHA & cryogenic protocol
How GERF® PPE fits OSHA requirements on energy sites
| OSHA reference | What it requires | How the GERF® kit covers it |
|---|---|---|
| 29 CFR 1910.132 | Assess workplace hazards, select PPE for each hazard and train workers. | Zone-by-zone kits (head, hands, torso, legs) and certificates you can attach to your hazard assessment. |
| 29 CFR 1910.133 | Eye and face protection against liquid splashes. | Face shield worn over safety glasses or goggles, included in GERF® safety kits. |
| 29 CFR 1910.138 | Hand protection against harmful temperature extremes. | Cryogenic gloves tested to EN 511 (cold) and EN 388 (mechanical), in 5 lengths. |
| OSHA QuickFacts: Cryogens & Dry Ice | Never handle LN2 or dry ice with bare hands; use a face shield together with safety glasses or goggles. | Gloves + face shield + safety glasses in one kit, plus apron and gaiters for splash zones. |
| 29 CFR 1910.136 | Foot protection where feet are exposed to hazards. | Gaiters keep cryogenic splashes out of footwear; pair them with your required safety shoes. |
OSHA does not certify or approve PPE brands. The employer is responsible for the hazard assessment and PPE selection; GERF® supplies certified equipment and documentation to support it.

FAQ
Cryogenic PPE for Gulf Coast energy sites
Do you supply LNG terminals and contractors on the Gulf Coast?
Yes. We quote and ship to operators, EPC contractors and industrial gas distributors in Texas and Louisiana, with volume pricing for crews.
Which glove is best for LNG transfer?
Extra Grip gloves in 58 or 68 cm: EN 511 contact cold level 3 and a grip palm for couplings and valves.
Are cryogenic gloves flame resistant?
No. Cryogenic gloves protect against cold and splashes. If your site also has a fire hazard, assess FR clothing separately; we also supply FR coveralls.
Can I order for a whole crew?
Yes. Request a quote with quantities and sizes and we prepare a volume offer.
