Industrial and laboratory operations require compressed gases for a variety of uses and applications. People who work with compressed gas cylinders shoulder the responsibility to manage and use them safely, as they pose both physical hazards and chemical hazards. A compressed gas cylinder, if used improperly, can become just as explosively dangerous as a rocket or fragmentation bomb.

This course will teach you about the hazards of these pressurized containers, how they must be labelled, and how they must be stored, handled, and transported in order to prevent leaks, burns, and explosions. The course is highly recommended for anyone who works with or around any types of compressed gas cylinders.
