Gas Cylinder Storage

  • All cylinders must be strapped or chained to a SECURE structure with labels facing forward, capped when not in use.
  • Toxic gas cylinders must be stored under continuous ventilation
  • Multiple cylinders chained together should be “nested” with 3 points of contact with a wall/bench, another cylinder and the chain/strap.
  • Store Flammable and Oxidizing gases 20 ft. apart.
