Insulated gloves holding a block of dry ice

The Core Rules

Four Rules. Every Time.

Dry ice is a powerful cooling tool, but it demands respect. Follow these fundamentals every time it's handled, stored or transported.

Insulated Gloves Only

Always use insulated gloves or tongs. Direct skin contact can cause frostbite injuries in seconds.

Maintain Ventilation

Dry ice sublimates into CO₂ gas. Keep the area ventilated and never work with it in a sealed room or vehicle cabin.

Never Airtight Containers

Store dry ice in an insulated but ventilated container. Sealed, airtight containers can build pressure and rupture.

Transport Appropriately

Crack a window for airflow when transporting dry ice in a vehicle, and never carry large quantities in a closed cabin.
