This document identifies hazards, possible risks, and control measures for various tasks involving oxy-acetylene gas cylinders and cutting equipment. It lists 9 tasks including transporting cylinders, connecting hoses, laying hoses, operating the cutting torch, and housekeeping. For each task, it identifies potential hazards such as leaks, falls, and fires. It then provides control measures to mitigate the risks, such as using trolleys and straps for cylinders, conducting leak tests, maintaining proper PPE, and barricading work areas. Responsible persons are also identified for each control measure.
