 COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS SAFETY CHECKLIST
Item Yes No

Are cylinders stored in upright positions and immobilized by chains or other means to
prevent them from being knocked over?

Are cylinders stored away from highly flammable substances such as oil, gasoline, or
waste?

Are cylinders stored away from electrical connections, gas flames or other sources of
ignition, and substances such as flammable solvents and combustible waste material?

Are flammable gases separated from oxidizing gases in storage areas? Note: Acetylene
and propane cylinders should be separated from oxygen cylinders when not in use

Are oxygen and fuel gas cylinders separated by a minimum of 20 feet when in storage?
Note: A fire-resistant partition between the cylinders can also be used.

Are storage rooms for cylinders dry, cool, and well- ventilated? Note: Storage rooms
should be fire resistant and the storage should not be in subsurface locations. Cylinders
should be stored in secure areas at temperatures below 125ºF, away from radiators or
other sources of heat.

Are cylinders stored away from incompatibles, excessive heat, continuous dampness, salt
or other corrosive chemicals, and any areas that may subject them to damage?

Is the storage area permanently posted with the names of the gases stored in the
cylinders?

Do all compressed gas cylinders have their contents and precautionary labeling clearly
marked on their exteriors?

Are all compressed gas cylinder valve covers in place when cylinders are not in use?

Are all compressed gas cylinders stored so they do not interfere with exit paths?

Are all compressed gas cylinders subject to periodic hydrostatic testing and interior
inspection? Note: This is normally done by the supplier
Do all compressed gas cylinders have safety pressure relief valves?

Are cylinders always maintained at temperatures below 125ºF? Note: A flame should
never come in contact with any part of a compressed gas cylinder.

Are safety relief devices in the valve or on the cylinder free from any indication of
tampering?

Is repair or alteration to the cylinder, valve, or safety relief devices prohibited? Note: All
alterations and repairs to the cylinder and valve must be made by the compressed gas
vendor. Modification of safety relief devices beyond the tank or regulator should only be
made by a competent person appointed by management.

Is painting cylinders without authorization by the owner prohibited? Note: Often color
codes are used to help designate cylinders. Arbitrary paint is not recommended.

Are charged or full cylinders labeled and stored away from empty cylinders?

Is the bottom of the cylinder protected from the ground to prevent rusting?

Are all compressed gas cylinders regularly inspected for corrosion, pitting, cuts, gouges,
digs, bulges, neck defects and general distortion?

Are cylinder valves closed at all times, except when the valve is in use? Note: Regulator
diaphragms have failed, and unwanted gas was delivered to an area or apparatus, causing
safety and health problems.

Are compressed gas cylinders always moved, even short distances, by a suitable hand
truck? Note: Cylinders must never be dragged across the floor.

Is using wrenches or other tools for opening and closing valves prohibited? Note:
Hammering on valve wheels to open them should be strictly prohibited. For valves that
are hard to open, contact the supplier for instruction

Are suitable pressure regulating devices in use whenever the gas is emitted to systems
with pressure-rated limitations lower than the cylinder pressure?

Are all compressed gas cylinder connections such as pressure regulators, manifolds, hoses,
gauges, and relief valves checked for integrity and tightness?
Are all compressed gas cylinders regularly subjected to leak detection using an approved
leak detecting liquid? Note: Ordinary soap solution may contain oils that are unsafe when
used with oxygen cylinders. Leak detection liquids are available from commercial welding
supply houses.

Is an approved leak-detection liquid used to detect flammable gas leaks? Note: A flame
should never be used.

Are procedures established for when a compressed gas cylinder leak cannot be remedied
by simply tightening the valve?

Do the above procedures include the following:

·         Attach tag to the cylinder stating it is unserviceable
·         Remove cylinder to a well-ventilated out of doors location
·         If the gas is flammable or toxic, place an appropriate sign at the cylinder warning of
these hazards
·         Notify the gas supplier and follow his/her instructions as to the return of the
cylinder.

Are workers prohibited from using compressed gases (air) to clean clothing or work
surfaces?

Are compressed gases only handled by experienced and properly trained people?
