Hi all over there,

I would like to know, under which regulations, the compressed gas cylinders (as those used in welding) are covered?

Regards

Amjad

Whilst I am not the expert on this one I note that you have had no replies so would point you in the following direction. I have taken a UK standpoint and you will need to double check.

Malcolm - see below




Related Regulations, guidance and further information

This guidance tells you about the main dangers of gas cylinders and of some of your legal
responsibilities. For more detail you should refer to:

Malcom & Gham many thanks for the response,

Really the provided link are so important in this regard & they will provide me with all compressed cylinders' safety issues.

But does this mean there are more than one regulations (in UK) for dealing with this) - when I posted this thread (yesterday) i have wait a response that can aid me in my NEBOSH certificate practical exam incase that i found related hazards which to be consider as a breach - which regulations I have to write.

i have sit the exam today morning & the workplace i inspected contained to gas welding units, but the good news the two units are in good condition.

Again Many Thanks

Amjad
