Compressed gas safety is of utmost importance in any workplace, as compressed gasses present a unique set of hazards because of the types of containers they are stored in and the pressures they are stored at.
The presence of various gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, poses potential hazards if not handled properly. To ensure safety, it is crucial for individuals to be aware of the potential risks associated with compressed gases and to follow established safety guidelines. This includes proper storage, handling, and transportation of gas cylinders, as well as regular inspection and maintenance of equipment.
