Compressed gas cylinders are sometimes found lying around, sometimes in weird locations. Junk yards, abandoned building, washed up after a flood, etc. Of course HazMat is called to deal with them. How do you do an assessment? Are they dangerous? What do they contain? What do I do with them? This presentation will review examples of cylinder assessments on cylinders found abandoned without any identifying markings or labels. It will also present a worksheet that can be used to assess the cylinder and help to narrow down what they could contain. It will also look at cylinder and valve features that are unique to certain groupings of gases.
Learning Objectives:
Learn what features on a cylinder and valves can be used to determine what gas could be contained in it
Learn what the labels and markings on the cylinder mean
