Handling Compressed Gas Cylinders in the Laboratory
Product Line: Laboratory Safety Series
The energy possessed by a compressed gas cylinder can make it a virtual "missile" if it is not handled with the utmost care. And a leaking cylinder or fitting can lead to asphyxiation, a fire or even an explosion. Since compressed gas cylinders are frequently used in many laboratories, employees need to be familiar with the precautions that should be taken when dealing with them.
