7.1. SAFEtY & LOSS PREVENtION POLICY1. INtRODUCtION

Accidents don’t just happen; they are caused and the unfortunate reality about most accident is that they could be prevented. Whether caused by carelessness, laziness, or ignorance, the result is often human suffering, and always unnecessary expense. Special care and attention must be paid to all aspects of work.

Most accidents can be prevented by:

- Having the proper attitude towards safety.

- Taking time to understand the hazards associated with the job.

- Being prepared for a hazard as it develops.

- Having the ability to recognize unsafe conditions, and correcting them.

- Ensuring only safe methods of work and behavior are employed.

Naturally, the heaviest burden in respect of safety falls to the supervisor. The Supervisor must count the well being of his staff as his highest priority. His attitude will influence the actions of his men, and therefore, the effectiveness of the safety program. His total commitment is crucial. He must teach and educate his staff into a safe system of working. He must plan for every eventuality and be ready to respond as conditions change. He must lead by example. A good supervisor will never compromise nor allow his men to compromise, safety, simply to speed up a job or increase profits.

KCM has introduced enhanced safety standards to protect personnel and equipment from injury and damage.

This manual is intended to be a guide to standards relating to construction or maintenance works, but should also be seen as a reference for operating staff; who are responsible for those areas in which work is being carried out. It does not claim to be exhaustive, but focuses on the particular requirements of working in the site.

This manual represents general guidelines and can be modified according to the work site and mode of work involved.

2- SAFEtY POLICY

2.1. ORGANIZAtION AND RESPONSIbILItIES

2.1.1. INtRODUCtION

Establishing a comprehensive safety program on each project is the responsibility of the person to whom the project is assigned (Project Manager, Supervisor). The policy set forth herein shall apply to all construction projects, all personnel and subcontractor personnel.

- Each Project Manager will hold a meeting with his supervisors each month for the express purpose of discussing accident prevention measures by reviewing accidents which may have occurred and measures which will be taken to prevent future accidents.

- A written report of these meetings will be made by the Project Manager to the General Manager.

- Each Supervisor will supervise, monitor, and attend (on a rotating basis) safety meetings held by General Foremen under his immediate supervision.

- Each Foreman will hold a safety meeting with his crew weekly.

- A definite day will be set for these meetings and meetings will be held on that day unless the job is shut down, in which case the next working day will be used.

- Meetings will be held on KCM time and need be only ten to fifteen minutes in length.

- All work on the Foreman level of responsibility shall be well planned and supervised to ensure safe working conditions at all times.

- Standard safe practices for all construction operations shall be enforced regularly. Foreman shall insist on employees observing safety rules and take any necessary action to obtain complete compliance with all safety rules.

2.2. ACCIDENt PREVENtION

All work shall be well planned and supervised to ensure safe working conditions at all times. Standard safe practices for all construction operations shall be enforced regularly.

Supervision shall insist upon every employee observing all safety rules and take necessary action to obtain complete compliance with all safety rules.

Employees are expected to observe all safety practices and all applicable Safety Regulations, to do everything possible to prevent accidents and to report all hazardous conditions and practices to supervision immediately.

2.3. SAFEtY PROGRAM

- New employees will be given a brief safety orientation by their Supervisor or the Safety Engineer before beginning work. This orientation shall apply to general instructions regarding project and specific rules relating to his particular craft.

- Signs and posters of appropriate design and bearing standard pertinent regulations shall be used to convey warnings, directions and instructions by contractor and client specifications. The observance of warning signs shall be required of KCM personnel and visitors while on the project.

- Inspection of work area shall be made daily by supervision. Inadequate and deficient protective measures noted shall be brought to the attention of the craft Foreman immediately, for correction. The Project Manager shall be informed of all deficiencies which cannot be corrected immediately and/or which may result in personal injury or damage to facilities or equipment.

- Inspection of all flammable storage areas, explosive storage areas, shops, warehouses and other buildings shall be made at regular intervals.

2.4. SUMMARY

- It is difficult to enumerate each individual item without making omission. Any such omissions are not intended to minimize the importance of any such item.

- The client and his designated personnel will be solicited for assistance in accomplishing, as nearly as possible, an accident free contract.

3 . SAFEtY WEAR

3.1. HEAD PROtECtION

In most cases, head protection will mean an industrial or construction safety helmet. Helmet can include optional comfort features which are strongly recommended.

Helmets are built to withstand heavy impacts, but can be broken, and should not be abused. The hammock should be adjusted to give a comfortably snug fit, whilst allowing ventilation to the top of the head, and along with the sweatband, be periodically checked for wear and subsequently replacement. A helmet without a hammock is useless. Helmets to be worn properly not back to front.

3.2. SAFEtY SHOES

Protective footwear is worn in industry to:

- Provide protection to toes in the event of heavy objects falling onto the foot.

- Prevent injury by the penetration of nails or other sharp objects. - Provide a good grip in surface that is potentially slippery.

- Provide additional protection to persons such as electricians by providing increased insulating value.

- Ensure the discharge of static electricity for person working in flammable/explosive environment.

- Provide protection during specific operation such as welding, grinding, or power tools use.

108

3.3. HAND PROtECtION

The first consideration in the selection of industrial protective gloves must be to identify the hazard to be overcome. The handling of small components will require a high degree of flexibility, whilst a glove used to protect against heat may place no emphasis on this requirement.

No one glove will offer a solution to all the applications, and it should be remembered, when choosing a type of glove, what the work will entail. The primary function of a glove is to provide a barrier between the materials we work with, and our hands. This is particularly essential when we consider the large numbers of chemicals and oil products we come into contact with daily.

Consider the following when making a selection:

- the Hazard:

- Abrasion - Cutting - Tearing - Temperature - Chemicals - Electricity

- Requirement:

- Flexibility - Dexterity - Comfort - Liquid proof - Voltage Limit

3.4. EYE PROtECtION

Statistics show that approx. 17% of all accidents involve eye injury. In almost all cases, the injuries would be avoided if proper eye protection was worn. Basically, eye injuries fall into 3 categories:

- Caused by impact, i.e., flying particles entering the eye.

- Caused by abrasion, i.e., due to the ingress of dust or some other irritating materials.

- Caused by burns or chemical contamination.

109

3.5. GOGGLES AND SPECtACLES

Goggles and spectacles are divided into seven categories which provide specific protections for a given hazard are included for information:

- General purpose industrial protection.

- Impact goggle grade 1.

- Impact goggle grade 2.

- Protection against molten metal.

- Protection against chemical.

- Protection against dust.

- Protection against gas.

With such large variety, there is a danger of the wrong type of goggle or spectacles being chosen for a particular job, therefore, the schedule appended to the end of this section is added for guidance. It is recommended that the different types of goggles being a combination set to protect against impact, chemical, and dust ingress. In this way, protection will be adequate for most works.

3.6. MAINtENANCE

Goggles and spectacles must be properly cared for to prevent scratching of the lenses, which will affect the wearer’s clear vision, and any items which have suffered from misuse should be discarded.

Additionally, care should be taken to ensure that items are disinfected at regular intervals, particularly when being shared.

3.7. FIRSt AID

In the event of dust or chemical ingress into the eye, the eye should be immediately irrigated with fresh water for at least 10 minutes, and medical assistance sought. The injured person should not rub the eye as this can result in more serious injury being sustained.

If a sharp object should penetrate the eye, cover with a clean cloth and transport immediately to the nearest medical facility.

4. HEALtH AND SAFEtY MANAGEMENt 4.1. SMOKING

4.1.1. General

Smoking is hazardous to your health. Smoking in the refinery complex can be hazardous to everybody’s health.

Generally, smoking is expressly forbidden, due to the ever present risk of gases or flammable vapors. However, smoking shelters have been established which allow smoking, whilst being sited in a “safe” area. This definition applies only to that area within the confines of the shelter, and no smoking is allowed outside or nearby.

4.1.2. Establishment of temporary Smoking Location

If a requirement of temporary smoking location within the restricted areas de-velops, due to major construction or maintenance projects, the approval of the following is required:

- The Manager of the area concerned.

- The Manager of the Safety Department.

- The General Manager.

When the above approvals have been obtained, the physical limits of the smok-ing area shall be marked by means of rope barriers and notices of marker post. A temporary smoking area is to be used only by persons actually working at the site, and shall not be used by others.

All smoking shelters shall have a notice reading “SMOKING INSIDE WALLS ONLY” in Arabic and English.

111

4.1.3. Approved Lighter & Matches

The carrying and use of lighters is restricted to those models with totally en-closed striking mechanism, where it is impossible to generate a spark without first removing a protection cover.

The carrying and use of lighters which have an unguarded mechanism, and which can spark if dropped, is prohibited. Plastic cased butane lighters are specifically banned.

The carrying and use of matches is restricted to the “safety type” which can only be ignited by striking against the specially prepared surface of the box. Match-es which can be ignited by striking against an abrasive surface are prohibited.

4.1.4. Safety Practices

- Provide suitable ashtrays at all smoking areas, (sand filled, metal con-tainers preferred).

- Ensure cigarettes are completely extinguished before you leave a smoking area.

4.2. ELECtRICItY

4.2.1. General

The design and installation of electricity power systems is a job for specialists. Electrical power distribution for construction sites are no exceptions. Distribution of electricity on site is essentially quite different from the permanent installation. As construction work proceeds, the system needs change, and there is a constant variation of currents, phases and load required.

4.2.2. Electricity Problems

Wiring problems can arise because of the runs required re- routing or extensions. Site conditions themselves are unlikely to make safe distribution an easy matter, and long flexible cables for portable tools and lighting tend to take the overall situation more hazardous.

These low voltage cables should be suspended from “goal-post” supports in order to prevent possible snagging, puncturing of insulating cover, or tripping.

Electrical accidents results in death in about 1 of 30 instances, electric shock being the most common causes. Electric shock is unpleasant, even at low levels, and a medium amount causes increased muscle tension, often resulting in the inability to release the

source of shock from the grip. A higher amount can cause irreversible contractions of the heart, (known as fibrillation), and is almost invariably lethal.

The passage of current through the body can also cause burning of the skin at the points of contact, though severe burning can also occur from exposure to electric shock without actual bodily contact.

Whilst it is generally accepted that below 60-70 V, fatalities are nearly non-existent, deaths have been reported from shock with voltage as low as 42 V.

113

Potential problem areas to look for include:

- Is the wiring sound, with no break in the covering insulation?

- Is the appliance grounded?

- Is the appliance being used for the purpose it was intended?

- Is the power supply the right type for the appliance?

- Are weather conditions suitable for the use of such appliance?

- Is the appliance been recently checked for the electrical integrity?

- Are appliance regularly services and maintained?

- Are extension connections adequately insulated?

4.2.3 Safety Practices

- All electrical work, with the exception of minor household items such as fixing a plug, or changing light bulbs, should only be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician. Never attempt to repair an electrical item yourself.

- If required, always ground equipment to minimize the risk of electric shock.

- Ensure the electrical connection to the appliance and supply is sound.

- Check the appliance nameplate for operating voltage prior to electrical

connection.

- Never use equipment you suspect may be defective.

- Carry the appliance by the handle or body, and not by the cable and do not abuse electrical wiring.

- Never pull plugs out of socket by tugging on the wiring.

4.3. FIRE

4.3.1. GENERAL

Fire extinguishers come in 3 basic types:

- Water

- Dry Powder

- Carbon Dioxide

It is essential to know what type of extinguisher to use when faced with a fire, and perhaps more importantly, what type not to use.

Their various applications and uses are:

A. Water Extinguisher: This is suitable for use on burning wood, paper, coal or textiles.

B. Dry Powder Extinguisher: This type is suitable for use on flammable liquids, i.e. oils, grease, paint or thinners.

C. Carbon Dioxide: Usable on electrical fires.

Some extinguishers may be used on more than one type of fire, and the table below shows the various applications.

Note that a water type extinguisher should never be used on an electrical fire, as being an excellent conductor itself, it can cause electrical shock.

CLASS/tYPE WAtER CO2 POWDER

1 Wood, Paper, Coal, Rags Yes Yes Yes

2 Oils, Grease, Paint, Thinners No Yes Yes

3 Electrical No Yes Yes

115

4.3.2. Extinguishing Fire

The jet from a water extinguisher should be directed at the base of the flame, and kept moving across the area of the fire. A fire spreading vertically should be attacked at its

lowest point and followed upwards. Seek out any hotspots after the main fire is extinguished.

A dry powder/carbon dioxide type extinguisher should be applied directly onto an electrical fire, and if the equipment is enclosed, into any opening to penetrate as far as possible into the interior.

On Fires involving liquids, direct the jet or discharge horn toward the near edge, and with a rapid sweeping motion, drive the fire towards the far edge until all the flames are extinguished.

A checklist may be used to determine the condition and usability of an extinguisher.

- Check by weight.

- Check the pressure by examining the gauge.

- Check that the seal is unbroken.

- Check the discharge nozzle and hose to make sure it comes easily away from the retention clip.

- Visually examine the operating mechanism to ensure that it is clean and appears in good order.

4.4. SCAFFOLDING & LADDERS

4.4.1. Scaffolding

Scaffolding is viewed as a specialized function, and KCM’s regulations prohibit the erection of scaffolding in excess of 2m above grade or water levels by any persons other than the KCM’s Specialist Scaffolding Contractor.

The risks attached to improperly erected scaffolding are not obvious to the untrained eye, and are therefore dangerous and unexpected.

The most common use of scaffolding is in providing working platforms, and a properly constructed working platform will afford the worker as safe a working environment as would be enjoyed at ground level.

Page 17: 6.2. ISO Certificates · or damage to facilities or equipment. - Inspection of all flammable storage areas, explosive storage areas, shops, warehouses and other buildings shall be

Kabbani Construction & Maintenance

117

The common elements scaffolding are:

- Standards (or uprights)-the vertical supports which bear the weight of the structure and its load.

- Ledgers-horizontal tubes which connect standards longitudinally and which may act as support for transoms.

- Transoms-tubes which span between ledgers and may support a working platform.

- Buttresses-inclined tubes bearing on the ground or the suitable anchoring point at one end, and fixed to the scaffold other to widen the effective base width and increase the structure’s stability.

- Braces-tubes fixed diagonally across the length and/or the width of a scaffold, or through a scaffold to increase its stability.

- Ties-tubes used to maintain stability in a scaffold connecting it to the building or structure.

- Sole plate-timber plank or similar which distributes the load bearing on each standard over a greater area, and serves to provide a level footing on which to erect the scaffold.

Although scaffolding is considered specialized, it is important for all operatives to understand what makes up safe scaffolding, in order to recognize deficiencies, and have them rectified before any work begins.

Scaffolding must be designed and constructed with its anticipated service in mind. In the event that the service changes, e.g. additional loads applied, all works must stop, the scaffold classified as incomplete, and the necessary modifications carried out before any personnel are allowed to return to work.

On no account should scaffolding be used until advised as complete by the specialist scaffolder, and the “SCAFFOLDING INCOMPLETE - do not use” sign removed.

With mobile tower scaffold, dimensions will vary according to needs, but the corner standards should never be less than 1.2 m apart, and the height should not exceed 3 times the shorter base dimensions. Wheels shall be at least 10 cm in diameter and fitted with brakes which cannot be accidentally released.

Kabbani Construction & Maintenance

118

4.4.2. the Working Platform

Working platform shall be:

- Closely boarded;

- At least 25 cm wide if used only as a footing;

- If used for the deposit of materials, wide enough to allow the full width, in addition to the material;

- Provided with guard rails to a height of at least 100 cm above the platform, and with toe-boards at least with 15 cm high. The distance between the lowest rail and the top of the toe board, shall in no case exceed 35 cm.

- So constructed that the space between the edge of the platform and any building / structure be as small as practical, and in no case to exceed 35 cm.

The maximum height of any static tower shall be limited to 12 m, and 9 m for mobile towers.

The usual requirements of toe boards, board spacing and handrails shall apply.

Though the scaffold and its maintenance remains the responsibility of the specialist scaffolder, this refers to the integrity of the structure, and not to cleanliness and good housekeeping of its platform.

Remove unnecessary materials, rubbish or obstructions, to provide as clear a passageway or work area as possible and remove oil and grease immediately from stairs, ladders, handrails and platforms.

The following safety checklist should be reviewed before commencing any works.

- Is it securely anchored?

- Is the frame correctly assembled per the aforementioned requirements?

- Will the scaffold support the intended load?

- Are the scaffold boards evenly supported and spaced?

- Is the whole structure adequately secured to prevent undue movement?

- Are toe-boards and guard rails properly positioned and secured?

- Is the access ladder of a suitable quality and securely fixed.

119

4.4.3. Ladders

Because ladders are in everyday use, they are taken for granted, and as a result, are the causes of more accidents than any other item of equipment. Before use, ladders should be checked for possible defects such as:

- Split splintered, warped or bruised stiles. (A bruised stile absorbs moisture and encourages decay);

- Unduly worn or split rungs;

- Loose wedges or tie rods;

- Split or frayed feet. Aluminum ladders should be checked for bent or damaged styles, damaged, loose or missing rungs, and that the ladder is fitted with secure non-slip bases.

Page 20: 6.2. ISO Certificates · or damage to facilities or equipment. - Inspection of all flammable storage areas, explosive storage areas, shops, warehouses and other buildings shall be

Kabbani Construction & Maintenance

120

If a ladder cannot be properly repaired, discard it.

Due to the presence of overhead cables throughout wide areas, timber ladders are preferred, and shall be of natural color, protected from weathering by a wood preserver and clear varnish. Paint hides defects.

Ladders should always be erected so that reinforcing wire is to the underside of the rungs, and should be placed on a firm, level base, giving support to both stiles equally.

Ladders must always be lashed or clamped near the top to some convenient, secure anchorage to prevent the base from slipping outwards and the top from sliding sideways. The correct slope for a ladder is 75° to the horizontal, i.e. 30 cm. out from the base for every 1.2 m. in height, and all ladders must extend at least 2 m above any landing place, or beyond the highest working rung.

Ladders fixed vertically to scaffolding shall be securely clamped in a minimum of 3 places along its length on each stile, and shall not have any of its rungs obstructed by intermediate transoms.

When working from a ladder, one hand should be free to hold onto a rung or site and if the character of the work requires, a safety belt should also be worn, and be securely fixed. Tools and materials should be carried in suitable pouches or hoisted to the work area.

4.4.4. Safety Practices

- Climb and descend ladders using two hands.

- Ensure rungs and stiles are free from oil, grease or dirt.

- Work, climb and descend ladders facing them.

- When erecting scaffolding over/by water the scaffolder must wear a life jacket.

121

4.5. HOUSE KEEPING

Any construction site is a dangerous place to be. Heavy equipment, hot work, scaffolding …etc., all carry their own hazards, but are essential to the work, and the risks must be recognized, and minimized. One often ignored but essential element of safety, is good housekeeping, i.e., keeping the worksite, or office tidy, so as to eliminate hidden hazards, and reduces the occurring of accidents.

Materials such as rags, papers, wood shaving …etc. all pose a fire risk and if not required should be properly disposed off. Otherwise, they should be stored in metal containers with close fitting lids and stacked well away from building or huts.

Flammable materials such as paints, solvents… etc. must be stored under cover in a proper suitable area. Likewise, reusable timbers should be properly stacked and special emphasis should be placed on den ailing to reduce the risk of accidental cuts or puncture of the skin.

Surplus excavated material must be removed from site daily, and should never be a substitute for properly installed barriers. Cables powering tools are tripping hazards, and should be elevated to a suitable height to prevent “snagging” by personnel and equipment. Clean up spillages of flammable liquids, oil, greases etc., immediately when they occur. Don’t leave it to somebody else.

The storage of materials on site is an accepted practice, but certain standards must be observed for example:

- Materials should be stacked neatly.

- They should never obstruct essential equipment, i.e., fire fighting appliances, valves, gauges, access ways, etc.

- On an operating unit, they must be non-flammable.

- The owner’s permission must first be given.

Good housekeeping should be second nature to us all, and the KCM expects that all contractors will make the necessary efforts to keep its property clean, tidy, and a safer place to work.

COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER SAFEtY GUIDELINES

Due to the nature of gas cylinders, special storage and handling precautions are necessary. The hazards associated with compressed gases include oxygen displacement, explosion hazards, toxic effect of some gases, as well as the physical hazards of a ruptured cylinder. There are almost 200 different types of materials in gas cylinders including atmospheric gases, fuel gases, refrigerant gases, poison gases and miscellaneous gases. Compressed gases are usually divided into six basic categories, with some gases falling into more than one classification.

The categories are as follows:

- Flammable Gases - Oxygen and Oxidizing Gases - Acid and Alkaline Gases - Highly Toxic Gases - Cryogenic Liquefied Gases - Inert Gases

A sudden release of these gases can cause a cylinder to become a missile-like projectile, destroying everything in its path. Cylinders have been known to penetrate concrete-block walls. To prevent such a dangerous situation, there are several general procedures to follow for safe storage and handling of a compressed gas cylinder:

Identification of Contents of Compressed Gas Cylinders

- The contents of any compressed gas cylinder should be identified clearly so as to be easily, quickly, and completely determined by any laboratory worker.

- A durable label should by provided that cannot be removed from the compressed gas cylinder.

- No compressed gas cylinder should be accepted for use that does not identify its contents legibly by name.

- Color-coding is not a reliable means of identification; cylinder colors vary from supplier to supplier, and labels on caps have no value because many caps are interchangeable.

- Tags should be attached to the gas cylinders on which the names of the users and dates of use can be entered.

- If the labeling on the gas cylinder becomes unclear or defaced so that the contents cannot be identified, the cylinder should be marked “contents unknown” and the manufacturer contacted regarding appropriate procedures.

124

transporting gas cylinders

- Cylinders transported by truck must be fastened securely in an upright position so that they will not fall or strike each other.

- Cylinders should not be transported without safety caps. A cylinder’s cap should be screwed all the way down on the cylinder’s neck ring and should fit securely.

Do not lift cylinders by the cap. The cap is for valve protection only. - Cylinders should not be transported with the regulator attached to the cylinder. - Always use a cylinder cart to move compressed gas cylinders. Refrain from sliding, dragging or rolling cylinders on edge. - Only one cylinder should be handled (moved) at a time.

Storage of Compressed Gas Cylinders

- Cylinders should not be allowed to drop nor be struck violently. - Cylinders should be properly secured at all times whether attached to a wall, cylinder

truck, cylinder rack, or post. - Liquefied flammable gas cylinders should be stored in an upright position or such

that the pressure relief valve is in direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.

- Caps used for valve protection should be kept on the cylinders at all times except when the cylinder is actually being used or charged.

- Cylinders should not be used for rolling, supports, or any purpose other than the transportation and supply of gas.

- Cylinders should be stored in a well-ventilated area away from flames, sparks, or any source of heat or ignition. Keep cylinders away from electrical circuits.

- Cylinders should not be exposed to an open flame or to any temperature above 125 degrees F.

- Oxygen cylinders (empty or full) in storage should be separated from fuel-gas cylinders and combustible materials by a minimum distance of 20 feet or by a barrier at least 5 feet high having a fire-resistance rating of at least one-half hour.

- Flammable gas cylinders should not be stored with oxygen or nitrous oxide cylinders or adjacent to oxygen charging facilities.

- Full and empty cylinders of all gases should be stored separately and identified by signs to prevent confusion.

- Cylinders may be stored outdoors but should be protected from the ground to prevent bottom corrosion.

Where extreme temperatures prevail, cylinders should be stored so they are protected from the direct rays of the sun.

- Cylinders should not be exposed to continuous dampness, stored near salt or other corrosive chemicals or fumes.

Corrosion may damage cylinders and cause their valve protection caps to stick. - Do not charge, ship, or use any cylinder which is not provided with a legible decal that

identifies its contents.

Use of Compressed Gas Cylinders

- Know and understand the properties, uses, and safety precautions of the gas before using the cylinder. Common poison or highly toxic gases that may be found include:

o arsine (AsH3)

o ethylene oxide (EtO)

o hydrogen cyanide (HCN)

o nitric oxide (NO)

o phosphine (PH3)

- Always use the proper regulator for the gas in the cylinder. Always check the regulator before attaching it to a cylinder. If the connections do not fit together readily, the wrong regulator is being used.

- Before attaching cylinders to a connection, be sure that the threads on the cylinder and the connection mate are of a type intended for the gas service. - Do not permit oil or grease to come in contact with cylinders or their valves.

- Wipe the outlet with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth before attaching connections or regulators. The threads and mating surfaces of the regulator and hose connections should be cleaned before the regulator is attached.

- Attach the regulator securely before opening the valve wide. Always use a cylinder wrench or another tightly fitting wrench to tighten the regulator nut and hose connections.

- Open cylinder valves SLOWLY. Do not use a wrench to open or close a hand wheel type cylinder valve. If it cannot be operated by hand, the valve should be repaired.

- Stand to the side of the regulator when opening the cylinder valve.

- Do not attempt to repair cylinder valves or their relief devices while a cylinder contains gas pressure. Tag leaking cylinders or cylinders with stuck valves and move to a safe, secure outdoor location.

- Close valves on empty cylinders and mark the cylinder “empty” with the initials “M.T.”

126

things Not to Do:

• Never roll a cylinder to move it. • Never carry a cylinder by the valve. • Never leave an open cylinder unattended. • Never leave a cylinder unsecured. • Never force improper attachments on to the wrong cylinder. • Never grease or oil the regulator, valve, or fittings of an oxygen cylinder. • Never refill a cylinder. • Never use a flame to locate gas leaks. • Never attempt to mix gases in a cylinder. • Never discard pressurized cylinders in the normal trash.

Disposal

- Disposal of poison gas cylinders can often cause problems. The cylinder must be returned to the manufacturer. Cylinders that are returned must be shipped on a vehicle which cannot simultaneously carry any other hazardous materials or foodstuffs.
