Safe Handling of Gas Cylinders
Handling Cylinders
• If it becomes necessary to move cylinders, do so with a suitable hand truck
after ensuring that the container cap is secured and the cylinder properly
fastened to the hand truck.
• Use only gas-pressure regulators, tubing, and hose connectors approved by an
appropriate regulatory agency.
• Arrange gas hoses where they will not be damaged or stepped on, and where
objects will not be dropped on them.
• Do not refill gas cylinders.
• Check the condition of pipes, hoses, and connectors regularly. Perform gas
leak tests at all joints and seals of the gas system regularly, using an approved
gas leak detection solution.
• When the equipment is turned off, close all gas cylinder valves tightly at the
cylinder. Bleed the remainder of the line before turning the exhaust vent off.
