Precautions for safe handling

Only trained and properly instructed personnel should handle gases under pressure. Always use equipment that is specified for this product and rated for its supply pressure and temperature. Keep fittings free from oil and grease, and apply only oxygen‑approved lubricants and sealants.

Open valves slowly to prevent pressure shock. Close valves after each use and report any damage immediately to the supplier. Furthermore, never attempt to repair or modify container valves or safety relief devices.

Protect containers from physical damage. Do not drag, roll, slide, or drop them. Instead, move cylinders with appropriate equipment such as a trolley, hand truck, or fork truck. Always secure cylinders in an upright position.

Keep valve outlets clean and free from contaminants, particularly oil and water. Replace caps or plugs as soon as the container is disconnected. If you experience difficulty operating a valve, stop immediately and contact the supplier.

Store cylinders below 50°C in a well‑ventilated area. Prevent suckback of water, acids, or alkalis, and avoid backfeed into the container. In addition, never use flames or electrical devices to raise pressure.

Observe all local, regional, and national regulations for storage. Leave valve protection caps in place until the container is secured. When using gases, do not eat, drink, or smoke.

Finally, never attempt to transfer gases from one container to another. Always keep valve guards or caps in place to ensure maximum safety.
