WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN STORING COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS?

• Check your fire code for guidelines regarding the storage of flammable gas cylinders.
• Store cylinders in a clearly identified, dry, well-ventilated storage area that is not exposed to heat or the direct rays of the sun, and away from doorways, aisles, elevators, and stairs.
• Post "no smoking" signs in the area.
• Store cylinders, both empty and full, in the upright position and secure with an insulated chain or non-conductive belt.
