Safety rules for handling acetylene in India:

 Here are some safety rules for handling acetylene in India:

Storage

Acetylene cylinders should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated, and well-protected location. They should be kept upright and fitted with a cap. The cylinders should be painted maroon. 

Handling

Only trained professionals should handle and transport acetylene cylinders. Before handling, ensure the cylinders are properly secured and do not move. 

Use

Acetylene should not be used in enclosed spaces or areas with insufficient ventilation. Always use a flashback arrestor on the torch and regulator to prevent flames from traveling back into the gas supply. Do not use acetylene at pressures higher than the manufacturer's recommendations. 

Generators

Acetylene generators should conform to the Calcium Carbide Rules, 1937. Keep anything that may cause a spark away from the generator room. 

Leaks

If you detect an unusual odor or suspect a leak, turn off the acetylene supply and ventilate the area immediately. Contact an acetylene technical expert to address the issue. 

First aid

If someone is injured, wash them under a safety shower, remove contaminated clothing, and wash their eyes at an eyewash station. Administer artificial respiration if necessary.
