When working with compressed gas, it's important that every safety measure possible is put in place to avoid any accidents or injuries. Any compressed gas can be hazardous due to the high pressure inside the cylinders. The compressed gas can be released safely by opening the valve on the cylinder, but gas can escape from a broken valve, causing it to become unsafe and harmful to the health and safety of your employers. Even when the pressure is low, gas can still escape from a cylinder. Compressed gas cylinder labels and signs are important to help avoid accidents, if they are correctly labelled they can be correctly handled.
When compressed gas is released uncontrollably, gas cylinders can shoot off like rockets or become pinwheels, and cause some serious injury or damage. A cylinder valve can break if the cylinder has been knocked over or struck. Therefore, it's important that any compressed gas cylinders are correctly labelled, reducing any risk of accidents or injuries.

When storing gas cylinders, it is important to remember that the cannisters can be extremely volatile due to the substances contained within, and must therefore be handled with the greatest amount of care. To prevent accidents involving gases under pressure, it is vital that these cannisters are correctly labelled and marked-out wherever and whenever present. It is also important t that these notices and instructions are clear and easy to comprehend, to prevent confusion and to give prudent notice of their location.
