  1. For the user of this presentation: This presentation has animation that can only be seen when you select “View Show” from the “Slide Show” menu item. Author uses this presentation for Compressed Gas Cylinder Training During the “what is wrong with this picture” segment. Trainees have rated this segment as the best part of the training. If you have other photos you care to submit, send them directly to rcoll@fnal.gov with a note as to what is wrong in the photo. I will continue adding to this presentation and posting to the Vermont SIRI. Thanks, Rafael Coll (630) 840-8518 Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  2. Subject to damage • from other activities in • the vicinity Electrical cord in Contact with the cylinder Cylinder laying in a horizontal position. Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  3. Chain Cylinders are not protected from falling. Note that the Chain is not secured across. Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  14. Unsecured cylinders Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  15. Regulator left pressurized after use Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  16. Improper Storage Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  17. Tie Off? Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  18. Improper storage of cylinders- acetylene and oxygen stored next to each other Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  19. Evidence of smoking next to acetylene cylinders Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  20. This cylinder should be taken to storage and housekeeping should be improved. Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  21. Unsecured cylinder Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  22. Unsecured Cylinder Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  30. Cylinder tied only With a bungee cord Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  31. Cylinders not Secured properly Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  32. Free standing cylinders Exposed to damage From construction Activities in area Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  33. Free standing cylinders Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  34. Cylinder laying on its side Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  35. What a pressurized Container can do When the right amount of heat is applied. Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  36. How not to blow yourself up Or, the importance of using flashback arrestors on oxy-acetylene carts and keeping spark producing activities Away From You (min 35 ft.). Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  37. An Ironworker crew was modifying a temporary structural steel bridge using an Oxygen/Acetylene torch setup on a cart, a portable welder, and a grinder. Apparently the Acetylene hose developed a leak and ignited during the grinding operation (Monday June 18, 2001) Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

  38. The torch setup was not equipped with a “flashback” arrestor check valve and the fire traveled through the hose into the compressed cylinder. All Oxygen/Acetylene setups must have a “Flashback” arrestor check valve at the regulators, NOT the torch head, to prevent this type of occurrence. This little device would have prevented this fire.
