Overview & Objectives

Members of the general industry workforces may come into contact with compressed gas cylinders at their worksites. When they do, they must know how to respond in a way that’s both safe and effective. But when these cylinders are damaged, in poor condition, leaking, or contain an unknown gas, these professionals need to take extra steps to keep themselves and their entire team safe.
