Storing and Handling Gas Cylinders English

Storing gas cylinders in a workplace poses a range of complex risks from the physical size of the metal cylinder, to the volatile nature of the compressed gas inside. Whether the cylinders at your workplace are simple LPG cylinders used to cook food at a festival, or pure oxygen for administering first aid at a hospital; or flammable gas used for tasks like welding in an industrial workshop, or highly toxic industrial ammonia; you need to make sure they are stored upright so residual liquefied gas cannot contact the cylinder valves, secured by a chain or rack so they can’t fall over, Kept in a well ventilated area to reduce the risks associated with leakage, located away from radiant heat or anything that could cause a fire, segregated so volatile and incompatible gases are not stored together, labeled and tagged so staff and contractors know exactly what’s inside and that it’s been tested as ‘safe to use".

Can gas cylinders be stored outside where they may be exposed to sunlight?
