  1. When storing compressed gas cylinders, they must be secured in an upright position using what type of device?

    Answer: Chain, strap, or bracket

    Cylinders must be secured with chains, straps, or brackets to prevent them from falling and causing valve damage or injury.

  2. What is the minimum distance that flammable gas cylinders (such as propane or acetylene) must be stored from oxidizing gas cylinders (such as oxygen) when not in use?

    Answer: 20 feet

    OSHA and NFPA standards require flammable gas cylinders to be stored at least 20 feet from oxidizing gas cylinders, or separated by a fire-resistant barrier at least 5 feet high.

  3. Which label or marking identifies a cylinder that has been condemned and must not be refilled or used?

    Answer: A red or condemned tag/stamp

    A condemned cylinder is typically marked with a red tag or 'CONDEMNED' stamp by the cylinder owner or inspection authority, prohibiting further use or refilling.

  4. When transporting a compressed gas cylinder on a hand truck or cart, the valve protection cap must be:

    Answer: Kept in place at all times

    The valve protection cap must always remain in place during transport to protect the valve from impact damage that could turn the cylinder into a projectile.

  5. Compressed gas cylinders stored outdoors must be protected from:

    Answer: Direct sunlight and temperature extremes

    Cylinders stored outdoors must be shielded from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent pressure buildup and material degradation.

  6. What action should be taken before moving a cylinder that has a regulator attached?

    Answer: Remove the regulator and replace the valve cap

    Before moving a cylinder, the regulator must be removed and the valve protection cap reinstalled to prevent regulator damage and accidental gas release.

  7. Empty cylinders in storage should be:

    Answer: Marked 'MT' or 'EMPTY' and stored separately from full cylinders

    Empty cylinders must be clearly marked 'MT' or 'EMPTY' and kept separate from full cylinders to prevent confusion and ensure proper handling.
