LABORATORY OF PATHOLOGY ONLINE POLICY MANUAL
GAS CYLINDERS
- No more than one extra cylinder of compressed, flammable gas (other than those actually connected for use) should be stored at any one workstation.
- All compressed gas cylinders must be secured to prevent accidental falling and damage to the valve or regulator.
- Only non-flammable gas cylinders are currently used in LP; if flammable gas cylinders are used in the future, the flammable gas cylinders must be stored in a separate, ventilated room or enclosure, reserved exclusively for that purpose, and which has a fire‑resistance classification of at least two hours.
