Posted By Greg Burgess Hi all, I am looking for information and advice surrounding the safe use and storage of oxygen bottles in residential establishments. Anyone help? Thanks Greg

Posted By Paul Bellis Just a couple of points further to the good advice above. You need a full written emergency plan, which should be readily accessible and reviewed regularily, make sure everyone knows what to do in the event of an emergency, what actions to take in the event of a gas leak and/or a fire. Dont forget the emergency services will want to know information if they attend, such as the location size type and number of cylinders. Make all staff aware of the hazards or potential hazards associated with the cylinders and thier contents. The Materials Data Safety Sheet available from the cylinder suppliers should give you information to work from. Dont forget also if using a trolley, that also needs to be appropriately designed constructed and maintained. The British Compressed Gasses association - www.bcga.co.uk should be able to help with advice , also I think this site has some free information to download, also BOC gases on 0800 111 333
