Safety rules for handling helium cylinders in India

 Here are some safety rules for handling helium cylinders in India:

Storage

Store cylinders upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area that's away from heat sources and direct sunlight. The storage area should be free of flammable materials and the temperature should not exceed 125°F (52°C). Secure the cylinders with chains, straps, or racks to prevent them from falling or tipping over. 

Handling

Use a cylinder cart to move cylinders and avoid rolling them horizontally. If you need to handle a cylinder manually, have two people hold it. 

Valves

Always open cylinder regulator valves slowly and stand to one side of the cylinder. Do not try to transfer helium from one cylinder to another.

Personal protection

Use proper personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect your eyes, face, and skin from liquid splashes. Avoid atmospheres with oxygen deficiency (<21%). 

Emergency procedures

If there is a large gas release or an accident, call the fire brigade, activate the building's fire alarms, and evacuate the area. Assist anyone injured and provide first aid.
