Abstract A method for preparing the access of maintenance/repair workers to gas cleaning facilities in thermal power stations is outlined. It involves the cooling off of the sector concerned, to be followed by a thorough checking for absence of flue gas and other toxic substances. A portable toxic atmosphere detection and warning unit is illustrated, to be carried along during work.
