An excerpt from ISNetworld® RAVS®* Safety plan Compressed Gas Cylinders Program

Introduction

This section contains guidelines and requirements for the safe use of flammable and/or compressed gases by Replace with Company Name employees. It covers the use of flammable-gas piping systems, high-pressure gas cylinders, manifolded cylinders, and compressed air.

Hazards

All gases must be used in a manner that will not endanger personnel or property in routine shop use or experimental operations. Hazards associated with handling and use of flammable and/or high-pressure gases include the following:

Injuries caused by flying objects accelerated by an explosion or pressure release;

Almost certain death if a flammable mixture is inhaled and then ignited;

Asphyxiation;

Secondary accidents such as falls or electrical shocks;

Fire caused by ignition of flammable gases;

Relief Valves Required

All systems, system components, and piping subject to over-pressures must be equipped with relief devices.

Operational Safety Procedures

Equipment containing highly toxic gases requires an Operational Safety Procedure (OSP) and must comply with the requirements described in the chapters on chemical safety. If you are in doubt as to the hazards, toxicity, or safe operating practices for any gases, consult the Responsible Safety Officer, Replace with Safety Person’s Name.

Fire Risk

Fire requires three elements: fuel, oxygen, and ignition. Any experiment or routine operation that places a flammable gas in the presence of an oxidant (air, oxygen) and an ignition source (spark, flame, high temperature) is extremely dangerous. To reduce the risk of fire, eliminate two of these three elements.
