Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

Awareness training for anyone who receives, moves, stores, connects or uses compressed gas cylinders at work. It covers why cylinders are dangerous, the hazards of the common gases, how to identify a cylinder from its label, storage and segregation, handling and transport, regulators and safe use, and first response to leaks, fires and damaged cylinders. It does not qualify anyone to fill, test or repair cylinders, and site rules and national regulations decide the actual values.
