About Handling Compressed Gas Cylinders

Compressed Gas is used in a number of different environments... for a number of things.

It provides fuel to heat machines and materials... as well as to cool them. It can power equipment... and be used in laboratory experiments.

As a result, most facilities have some type of compressed gas stored somewhere on-site.

When used and handled properly, Compressed Gas Cylinders present no problems.

However, they have the potential to be dangerous and can be the cause of serious accidents... which can result in injuries and significant damage.

Because of this potential, employees who work with or around Compressed Gas Cylinders need to be familiar with how they work, how to handle them safely, and what to do in case there is a problem.
