  1. Compressed Gas Cylinder Training

  2. Subject to damage • from other activities in • the vicinity Electrical cord in Contact with the cylinder Cylinder laying in a horizontal position

  3. Chain Cylinders are not protected from falling. Note that the chain is not secured across.

  4. Electrical Cord 2. Cylinder should be stored • 1. Cylinder not secured 3. Subject to damage 4. Electrical cord draped over

  5. 1. Small cylinder not tied off 2. Combustibles stored with cylinders 3. Bad housekeeping 4.Acetylene and Oxygen stored too close together and no chain

  6. 1. Cylinder with no valve or cap installed 2. Laying horizontal on the ground 3. Subject to damage

  7. Electrical arc damage Cylinder is damaged. Should be taken out of service immediately!

  8. Cylinder should be in storage protected from damage and not laying on the ground regardless if it is full or empty

  9. Old, corroded cylinder that should have been disposed of a long time ago.

  10. Forklift 1. Cylinders laying on the ground and improperly stored 2. Subject to damage from forklift operation in vicinity

  11. 1. Feed line exposed to damage/leak that could cause a fire/explosion 2. Tripping Hazard

  12. 1. Inadequate housekeeping 2. Valve caps should be installed

  13. Acetylene Cylinder • Unsecured acetylene cylinder 2. Exposed to damage

  14. Unsecured cylinders

  15. Regulator left pressurized after use

  16. Improper Storage

  17. Tie Off?

  18. Improper storage of cylinders- acetylene and oxygen stored next to each other

  19. Evidence of smoking next to acetylene cylinders

  20. This cylinder should be taken to storage and housekeeping should be improved.

  21. Unsecured cylinder

  22. Unsecured cylinder

  23. Cooking equipment within 20 ft of containers

  24. Tied Not tied

  25. Oxy-acetylene torch connected to bottles without the torch connected.

  26. Not in use. Should be stored. No cap installed. Housekeeping.

  27. Cylinder not in use with regulators still on the cylinder Free standing cylinder

  28. Free standing cylinder

  29. Free standing cylinders Chain

  30. Cylinder tied only with a bungee cord

  31. Cylinders not secured properly

  32. Free standing cylinders Exposed to damage from construction activities in area

  33. Free standing cylinders

  34. Cylinder laying on its side

  35. What a pressurized container can do when the right amount of heat is applied.

  36. How to not blow yourself up Or, the importance of using flashback arrestors on oxy-acetylene carts and keeping spark producing activities AWAY FROM YOU (min 35 ft.).

  37. An Ironworker crew was modifying a temporary structural steel bridge using an Oxygen/Acetylene torch setup on a cart, a portable welder, and a grinder. Apparently the Acetylene hose developed a leak and ignited during the grinding operation (Monday June 28, 2002)

  38. The torch setup was not equipped with a “flashback” arrestor check valve and the fire traveled through the hose into the compressed cylinder. All Oxygen/Acetylene setups must have a “Flashback” arrestor check valve at the regulators, NOT the torch head, to prevent this type of occurrence. This little device would have prevented this fire.
