Confinement principles

The confinement of potentially dangerous sources as regards operators is assured by the principle of barriers. Depending on the level of risk, one or two barriers are present between the source of danger and the operator. The elements that compose a barrier can be: a surrounding wall, an oven, a closed system, a ventilated hood, or a sorbonne, a glove box, or personal protection equipment.
