Compressed Gas: Safe Storage and Handling

Compressed gases are under high pressure and used extensively across campus in various locations. In order to ensure the safety of the workplace and that of the individuals using compressed gas, the University has developed a mandatory on line training module as well as a Safe Storage and Handling Guideline.  This guideline should be reviewed prior to completion of the training module.

 Compressed Gas: Safe Storage and Handling Guidelines

Supervisors (those with responsibility over the workplace or learning  environment) must ensure individuals working or learning in a space where  compressed gas is used, understand the hazards associated with compressed gas and ensure safety data sheets are readily available for each gas in each location.  Users should review these so they are aware of the hazards associated with the gas itself.

The training module is to be completed by all individuals who are responsible for the transport and use of compressed gas, including  connection or disconnection of lines and regulators.  You must achieve an 80% grade in order to successfully complete the training.  A record of completion will be maintained once you select the submit button within the training module.  

The training is approximately 30-45 minutes in length.
