Compressed gas safety standards
Compressed gas safety standards are guidelines designed to prevent accidents and injuries when handling gases stored under high pressure. They cover proper storage, labeling, and installation of gas cylinders, ensuring they are secure, upright, and protected from heat or damage. Standards also require trained personnel, regular inspections, and safety devices like pressure regulators and valves. Following these protocols reduces risks of leaks, explosions, or asphyxiation, safeguarding workers and the environment. Overall, they promote safe, reliable use of compressed gases in various industries by establishing consistent practices and safeguards.
