We've got some links to books and other web resources on cryogen safety at http://www.ilpi.com/msds/ref/cryogen.html

Metal-cased dewars reduce some of the risk associated with traditional Dewars and are available from many vendors including my own company: http://www.safetyemporium.com/25000

Does anyone have a good reference for the safety of Dewar flasks?
 
Has anyone set limits on how long a Dewar flask may be in service before it must be replaced? What are those limits? What are they based upon?
 
Does anyone have a good video of a Dewar flask implosion?
 
Thanks,
Christina
