Description:MARCOM's "Handling Compressed
Gas Cylinders in the Laboratory" Video Training Program examines
how gas cylinders "work", the hazards that are associated with
them and the need for caution when using or storing a cylinder. The energy
possessed by a compressed gas cylinder can make it a virtual "missile"
if it is not handled with the utmost care. And a leaking cylinder or fitting
can lead to asphyxiation, a fire or even an explosion. Since compressed
gas cylinders are frequently used in many laboratories, employees need
to be familiar with the precautions that should be taken when dealing
with them.
Areas covered in the program include the four ways to compress
gases, hazards associated with compressed gases, proper storage procedures,
marking and labeling, handling cylinders safely, connections and fittings,
leak detection, and more. The Video Program comes with a comprehensive
Leader's Guide, reproducible Scheduling & Attendance Form, Employee
Quiz, Training Certificate and Training Log. This Video Training Program
is one of 12 in the Elements of Safety Laboratory Safety Training
Series.
