Since compressed gas cylinders are frequently used in many laboratories, employees need to be familiar with the precautions that should be taken when dealing with them. This program on handling compressed gas cylinders examines how gas cylinders work, the hazards that are associated with them and the need for caution when using or storing a cylinder.
