Safety rules for gas cylinders in India:

 Here are some safety rules for gas cylinders in India:

Storage

Store gas cylinders in a designated shed with a roof to protect them from direct sunlight. Keep them away from heat sources that could cause the gas to expand and burst the cylinder. Store cylinders in a way that they stand safely or lie down if standing storage is not possible. Ensure they are secured against rolling away, falling over, or falling down. 

 

Handling

Only handle or use gas cylinders if you have been properly trained. Never transport a gas cylinder with the regulator in place. Ensure the protective valve cap is in place before moving the gas cylinder. Never drag or roll a gas cylinder. 

 

Maintenance

Do not repair or alter cylinders, valves, or safety-relief devices except by the vendor. Do not use grease, oil, or lubricant of any type to lubricate cylinder valves, gauges, regulators, or other fittings. 

 

Inspection

Check that all new gas cylinders have been examined by an inspection body before use. Always do this before re-filling. 

 

Painting

Do not paint cylinders as most are color coded for the type of gas that is inside
