Compressed Gas Storage

• Use of compressed gases is essential to the
  support of the SCARNG mission. These gases must
  be stored and managed properly.
• All compressed gas cylinders must be legibly
  marked to identify the gas content with either
  the chemical or trade name of the gas.
• Compressed gas cylinders must be stored in well
  protected, well ventilated, dry locations at
  least 20 feet from highly combustible materials
  such as oil or excelsior. Also, assigned storage
  spaces must be located where cylinders will not
  be knocked over or damaged by passing or falling
  objects, or subject to tampering by an
  unauthorized person. Cylinders should be secured
  to a stable adjacent structure such as a wall
  with chain or other restraining material to
  prevent falling.
• Valve protection caps, where cylinders are so
  designed, must always be in place and hand tight,
  except where cylinders are in use or connected
  for use.
• Acetylene cylinders must always be stored valve
  end up.
• Oxygen cylinders must be separated from fuel-gas
  cylinders or combustible materials by a minimum
  distance of 20 feet or by a non-combustible
  barrier at least five feet high with a fire
  resistance rating of at least one-half hour.
• For more information, consult 29 CFR 1910.253

Can you find the deficiencies associated with the
compressed gas cylinder in this photo? This is
NOT at a SCARNG site! Obvious problems are that
the cylinder is unsecured, unlabeled, and has an
electrical cord draped over the cap.
