The Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety course introduces learners to the hazards associated with using, moving, and storing compressed gas containers. It explains how cylinders, their dispensing components, and their contents can create risks if not handled properly. The training highlights common hazards, identification markings, and the controls needed to prevent incidents during everyday tasks.

Participants learn best practices for inspecting cylinders, understanding labels, operating valves and regulators, and securing containers during storage or transport. By the end of the course, learners will be able to recognize potential hazards and apply safe work practices to keep themselves and others protected.

Compressed gas cylinders are widely used across industrial, laboratory, and maintenance environments. Because these containers store gas under high pressure, improper handling can lead to leaks, injuries, fires, or explosions. Understanding how cylinders work, what hazards they present, and how to manage them safely is essential for anyone who uses or transports compressed gases. This course provides the foundational knowledge workers need to handle cylinders with confidence.
