What are the most important points to be aware of when carrying cylinders?

Whenever you are carrying cylinders, please follow these simple but important guidelines:

Ensure the valve is closed
Disconnect any regulators and re-check the valve is closed
Always take care when lifting – cylinders are heavy

Please read our safety datasheet 'General Cylinder Handling'.

How do I transport cylinders safely?

Cylinders are very heavy and travel at the same speed as your vehicle. However, unlike your vehicle, they are not fitted with any brakes and unless they are adequately secured they can move forward under braking and cause severe damage.

There are some basic safety rules to follow:

No smoking
Check that cylinder valves are properly closed
If the cylinder is designed to have a cylinder valve cap, then one should be fitted
Ventilate your vehicle and keep windows open. Do not transport a cylinder in the car boot
Dismantle equipment such as regulators and hoses and torches
Ensure all cylinders are properly secured and prevented from moving during your journey
Go directly to your destination
Immediately unload when arriving at destination or if stopping for a longer time and store cylinders in a ventilated place

How does the ADR regulation and the 1000 points rule concern me?

Since January 1, 2007, there is a requirement for the driver of any type of vehicle, not only for those above 3.5 tonnes, carrying dangerous goods in excess of the threshold limits to be in possession of a vocational training certificate, or ADR Licence as it is better known.

If you wish to benefit from the exemption of some of the requirements of the ADR regulations (such as the obligation to have orange plates, high visibility vests and wheel chocks), you need to understand the 1000 points rule and the limited quantity thresholds. The full ADR regulations only apply if your cylinder load exceeds this quantity threshold.

Please download our guide on ADR and the 1000 point rule.

What equipment should I wear when handling cylinders?

safety glasses
safety shoes
ordinary work gloves

For cutting and welding operations you should use

welder’s gloves
welder’s helmet and goggles
leather sleeves
leather apron
and other standard protective equipment in accordance with the appropriate task risk assessment

シリンダーにグリースやオイルを塗るのを避ける必要があるのはなぜですか?

オイルとグリースは、酸素などの一部のガスと接触すると反応する可能性があるため、ガス業界では厳しく禁止されている物質です。オイルやグリースに触れると、酸素やその他の酸化剤ガスが激しく反応し、火災や爆発を引き起こす可能性があります。そのため、危険性の高い潜在的な事故を防ぐために、シリンダー/パックの潤滑は許可されていません。

Air Productsの従業員は、オイルやグリース、その他の物質と当社が生成するガスとの不適合性について訓練を受けています。

What do I do if I think that my cylinder valve is leaking?

Close the cylinder valve
If the leak has stopped

If the cylinder is still leaking

Ventilate the room by opening doors and windows
Avoid ignition sources such as non-EX electrically operated fans
Evacuate the area within the vicinity of the cylinder
Contact the fire services and contact us

What do I do if my cylinder catches fire?

When dealing with cylinders in fires you should in all cases:

Raise the alarm and evacuate the area.
Contact the emergency services
Inform them of the number, type and location of the cylinders where possible.
If possible, cool the cylinders from a safe distance.
Advise Air Products on xxxxxxx
