Compressed Gas Cylinders in Healthcare Environments Compressed Gas Cylinders in Healthcare Environments

Healthcare facilities use compressed gas cylinders to store, use and transport gases. But if employees don’t know how to work around them safely, the results can be disastrous… even explosive.  Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that way. There are ways to handle, transport and maintain these cylinders that can help keep a facility safe.

The  course on "Compressed Gas Cylinders in Healthcare Environments" discusses the hazards that are associated with compressed gas cylinders as well as how to handle and store them safely. It also provides practical guidance on how to find and respond to leaks.

Topics covered in this course include:

• Types of gases and their cylinders
• The hazards of compressed gas cylinders and the gases they contain
• Storing compressed gas cylinders
• Handling cylinders safely
• Working with patients and compressed gas cylinders
• Installing compressed gas cylinders
• Finding and dealing with leaks
• …and more.
