HAZARDS_AND DANGER_CHECK CYLINDERS PROPERLY! THE COULD HABOUR DANGEROUS ANIMALS
Close all valves when cylinders are not in use. Never tamper with safety devices in cylinders, valves or equipment. Do not allow flames to contact cylinders and do not strike an electric arc on cylinders. Always use cylinders in cool well-ventilated areas.
Hazards associated with compressed gases include oxygen displacement, fires, explosions, and toxic gas exposures, as well as the physical hazards associated with high pressure systems. Special storage, use, and handling precautions are necessary in order to control these hazards.
Check under the CYLINDERS for any dangerous animals like snakes.
Store cylinders at least 20 feet from combustible materials in a dry, ventilated place. Keep oxygen cylinders at least 20 feet from fuel gas cylinders. Ensure valves are completely closed and any protection devices are secured.
Avoid storing cylinders in lockers – a leak could result in a dangerous gas buildup.
