| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING PROCEDURES:
USE PROPER CARE WHEN HANDLING AND PROTECT CYLINDERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
CLOSE CYLINDER VALVES WHEN NOT IN USE AND WHEN EMPTY. SECURE CYLINDERS AT
ALL TIMES. DO NOT DRAG, SLIDE OR ROLL CYLINDERS. DO NOT DEFACE CYLINDERS
OR LABELS. USE REGULATOR PIPING AND EQUIPMENT ADEQUATELY DESIGNED FOR
PRESSURES ENCOUNTERED. ONLY TO BE FILLED WITH AIR FIT FOR HUMAN
CONSUMPTION. COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS SHOULD NOT BE REFILLED EXCEPT BY
QUALIFIED PRODUCERS OF COMPRESSED GASES. SHIPMENTS OF A COMPRESSED GAS
CYLINDER, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN FILLED BY THE OWNER OR WITH HIS (WRITTEN)
CONSENT, IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW (49 CFR). HANDLE ACCORDING TO
COMPRESSED GAS ASSOCIATION GUIDELINES.
STORAGE PROCEDURES:
CYLINDERS SHOULD BE STORED UPRIGHT AND BE FIRMLY SECURED TO PREVENT
FALLING OR BEING KNOCKED OVER. PROTECT CYLINDERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
STORE IN A NO SMOKING AREA. STORE CYLINDERS AWAY FROM HEAVILY TRAFFICKED
AREAS AND EMERGENCY EXITS. STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY
FROM FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, CORROSIVES, MOISTURE, HEAT,
IGNITION SOURCES AND OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT. DO NOT STORE ABOVE 130 DEG. F
