Highlight the vital need for safety precautions with oxygen cylinders, underscoring their significance even when the gas is non-flammable.
Highlight the critical aspects of safely shifting an oxygen cylinder, emphasizing the potential risks associated with negligence.
Shift the oxygen cylinder to a flammable-free area to reduce the risk of fire, as high oxygen levels can pose a fire hazard.
Warn against handling the cylinder with greasy or oily hands, as this increases the chances of slipping and falling, posing a significant danger.
Highlight the importance of not using oil-based soap to check the oxygen cylinder and its fitting regulator to avoid flammable situations.
Advise against storing oxygen cylinders with flammable gas cylinders due to the risk of fire in case of a leakage.
Instruct to keep full cylinders standing straight and engage safety screws. Empty cylinders should be stored in a secured position to prevent accidents.
Emphasize the prohibition of rolling and shifting cylinders to avoid injuries, recommending the use of a trolley for safe transportation.
Warn against using oxygen cylinders for ventilation in confined spaces and suggest alternative oxygen sources to prevent potential dangers.
Advise keeping a distance of at least 5 meters between oxygen cylinders when stored together, a practice known as "Buffer Stocking."
Highlight the increased danger of pure oxygen at high pressure, especially when combined with flammable substances like oil and grease.
Encourage the use of a trolley for shifting cylinders and stress the importance of securing them with a chain during transportation.
Emphasize storing oxygen cylinders in well-ventilated places and, if possible, away from flammable gases to ensure safety.
Caution users to open the valve of the oxygen cylinder slowly to prevent sudden releases and potential hazards.
Remind users that smoking is strictly prohibited when using oxygen cylinders, dispelling the misconception that oxygen is not flammable.
Stress the importance of paying full attention to ensure the route is clear when shifting an oxygen cylinder, a critical point for safe transportation.
Oxygen Cylinder Safety: Secure storage, avoid flammables, check valves, know emergency procedures. Safety is everyone's responsibility.
