Handling Compressed Gas Cylinders in the Laboratory
Get to know the ins and outs of gas cylinders, their potential dangers, and the proper precautions necessary when using or storing them in a laboratory setting with our online course - Handling Compressed Gas Cylinders in the Laboratory.
This online course, Handling Compressed Gas Cylinders in the Laboratory, provides an in-depth look at the functioning of gas cylinders, the potential risks they pose, and the essential safety measures required when utilising or storing them. The substantial energy contained within a compressed gas cylinder has the potential to transform it into a dangerous projectile if not handled with utmost care. Moreover, a leaking cylinder or an ill-fitted component can result in serious conditions such as suffocation, a fire hazard, or even an explosion. Considering the frequency with which compressed gas cylinders are used in various laboratories, it is imperative that laboratory workers are well-versed with the safety measures that should be taken when operating with these cylinders.
The online course, Handling Compressed Gas Cylinders in the Laboratory, covers the below-mentioned topics:
- The four primary methods of gas compression
- Risks associated with compressed gases
- Appropriate storage methods
- Procedures for marking and labeling cylinders
- Safe handling of cylinders
- Securing connections and fittings
- Detection of leaks
- And more
