Safety information and precautions
• Oxygen is a non-flammable gas, but strongly supports combustion.
• Do not store or use medical gas cylinders near naked flames,
sources of ignition or combustible materials.
• Ensure the oxygen cylinders are stored in a safe and secure area
where they cannot fall over and cause injury.
• Clearly identify the storage areas with appropriate signage.
Ensure separation of full and empty cylinders.
• Store medical gas cylinders separately from industrial and other
non medical cylinders in a well-ventilated area that is clean and dry,
preferably inside.
• Smoking should not be permitted in the vicinity where cylinders
are used or stored.
• Ensure labels remain clearly visible at all times and not removed or
covered. Unauthorised labels/tags must not be fitted.
• Use a suitable trolley to transport large cylinders. Any stationary
cylinder trolley in a ward area should be fixed in place to prevent it
falling over.
• Where available, always use an appropriately designed cylinder
support to hold the cylinder whilst in use adjacent to the patient.
• Ensure the cylinder is set up and tested before placing near the
patient.
• Do not place the cylinder on the patient‘s bed unless there is no
suitable alternative for retaining the cylinder.
• Do not use oil or grease (or any oil-based products which includes
hand creams) in the vicinity of an oxygen cylinder.
• If you need to clean the cylinder do not use any materials which
contain ammonium or chlorine compounds.
• Do not refill or tamper with the cylinder package.
