Compressed Gases - General Requirements |
||||||
|
In addition to the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations found in Subparts Q and H of 29
CFR 1910 there are other applicable regulations and information. These include the Department of
Transportation (DOT) regulations, and the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) pamphlets.
These sources provide the requirements for the general category of compressed gases and
certain specific compressed gases. An important aspect of these regulations is the safety of compressed gas storage containers. Specific requirements are made of employers for the inspection of the compressed gas cylinders. Visual inspections are required to ensure that the cylinders are safe. The next page will go into more detail regarding visual examinations of compressed gas storage containers and the safety of these containers. |
