Handling Cylinders
It is important to comply with current manual handling regulations. It is advisable when handling gas cylinders to ensure:
- An appropriate size cylinder is used
- Cylinders are not allowed to roll
- Valves must not be tampered with, and faulty valves must not be used
- Markings and labels are never obscured
- Cylinders are stored near an exit so they can be removed easily in an emergency
- Appropriate signage is displayed on the storage area.
