Gas Cylinder Safety
Mishandled cylinders may rupture violently, release their hazardous contents or become dangerous projectiles. If a neck of a pressurized cylinder should be accidentally broken off, the energy released
would be sufficient to propel the cylinder to over three-quarters of a mile in height.
A standard 250 cubic foot cylinder pressurized to 2,500 PSIG can become a rocket attaining a speed of over 30 miles per hour in a fraction of a second after venting from the broken cylinder connection.
Basic Safety:
If a cylinder is damaged, in poor condition, leaking, or the contents are unknown, contact your cylinder vendor. Have the vendor return the damaged cylinder to the manufacturer.
● Wear appropriate foot protection when engaged in moving or transporting cylinders.

● Sturdy shoes are a minimum.

● Steel toed shoes if required by your supervisor, instructor, or department.

● Proper personal protective clothing and equipment shall be worn.
● Always have an appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) available and be familiar
with the health, flammability and reactivity hazards for the particular gas.
Cylinder Markings:
● Cylinders must be properly labeled, including the gas identity and appropriate hazards (e.g.,
health, flammability, reactivity).
● Cylinders have several stamped markings. The top mark is either a DOT or an ICC marking indicating pertinent regulations for that cylinder. The second mark is the serial number. Under the serial number is the symbol of the manufacturer, user, or purchaser. Of the remaining marks the numbers represent the date of manufacture, and retest date (month and year). A (+) sign indicates the cylinder may be 10% overcharged, and a star indicates a ten year test interval.
