Compressed gases are
regulated by many standards. Two primary standards are:
- 29 CFR 1910 Subpart Q – Welding, Cutting, and Brazing – covers the handling,
storage, and use of compressed gases, such as oxygen- fuel gas, when they are consumed in
the welding process.
- 29 CFR 1910 Subpart H – Hazardous Materials, 1910.101 - 1910.105 – covers the
general requirements for the handling, storage, and use of compressed gases other than
those consumed in the welding process. The General Requirements section of 1910.101 is
concerned with:
- Cylinder inspection to include required markings
Handling, storage, and utilization
Installation and maintenance of safety relief devices.
