Safety Tips

• About every project has compressed gas cylinders.
  They 're simple and convenient to deal with, but
  highly risky, too.
• The compression, as well as the gas inside all,
  pose serious dangers. Most other workers who come
  into direct contact with compressed gas tanks
  will be able to recognize what particles are
  inside the compressor, how the cylinder is
  connected, and how the cylinder is stored.

  and icons will help you find out what the next

  the needle has completely stopped, then turn the
  valve all the way.

  cylinders should be treated using a hand cart
  wherever possible.

  named empty and differentiated from the other
  cylinders in usage.
