Cylinders stored in outdoor locations should be kept away from which type of drain or opening?
Answer: Storm drains and floor drains
Cylinders must not be stored near floor drains or storm drains, as leaked gas can flow into drainage systems and travel to ignition sources far from the storage area.
What should an operator do if a cylinder valve cannot be closed due to a malfunction?
Answer: Contact the cylinder supplier and evacuate the area if necessary
A malfunctioning cylinder valve must be reported to the cylinder supplier immediately, and the area must be evacuated if there is a risk of gas release.
Cylinder storage areas must be conspicuously posted with which type of warning sign?
Answer: 'No Smoking — Flammable Gas' warning signs
'No Smoking' and flammable gas warning signs must be posted at cylinder storage areas to alert all personnel to the fire and explosion hazard.
What is the purpose of storing fuel gas and oxygen cylinders separately (or with a barrier)?
Answer: To reduce the risk of fire or explosion if either cylinder leaks
Separate storage prevents a scenario where leaking fuel gas and oxygen mix, creating a highly explosive atmosphere that could be ignited by a small spark.
Cylinders with leaking valves that cannot be stopped must be handled by:
Answer: Returning them to an outdoor area and contacting the supplier
A leaking cylinder that cannot be stopped must be moved to an open outdoor area away from ignition sources and the supplier must be notified immediately.
How frequently must cylinders be inspected visually before use?
Answer: Before each use
Cylinders must be visually inspected before each use for damage, corrosion, proper labeling, and valve condition to ensure safe operation.
What does a bulge, dent, or deep corrosion on a cylinder body indicate?
Answer: The cylinder is damaged and must be taken out of service
Physical damage such as bulges, deep dents, or severe corrosion compromises cylinder structural integrity and requires the cylinder to be immediately removed from service.
