Compressed gas cylinders may look fairly harmless, but the stored gases can be toxic, flammable, oxidizing, corrosive or inert, according to the Department of Energy Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security.
Misusing, abusing or mishandling compressed gas cylinders can create a significant hazard. A worker who is assigned to handle cylinders under pressure must be properly trained and monitored.
