by Sue Swaim, from the Community

20+

This OR medical gas safety competency checklist helps staff identify gas cylinder colors and labels, store cylinders away from flammables, separate full and empty tanks, and keep cylinders securely chained during transport and storage. It includes capacity limits per area (e cylinders and h cylinders) to support regulatory compliance, training, and safer operating room practices.

Compressed Gases Checklist
This AFI 91-203 compliant Compressed Gases Checklist helps teams assess safe handling, storage, and inspection of compressed gas cylinders. Verify that only trained personnel handle cylinders, check for dents, leaks, or cracks, and confirm hydrostatic testing within five years. Ensure cylinders are properly capped, secured, and kept below 125°F, with manifolds and storage areas protected from damage. Review ventilation to prevent buildup of flammable or asphyxiating gases, use suitable plumbing for cryogenic cylinders, and keep oxygen away from combustible materials. Check that cylinders do not obstruct exits or traffic routes. Includes signature and routing fields for supervisors and commanders to document compliance and follow-up actions.

Flammable Gas Cylinder Storage Checklist
This template supports monthly inspections of external storage areas for oxygen and flammable gas cylinders. It guides teams to check ventilation, separation distances or barriers, clear labeling, upright storage, heat-source protection, and proper transport with caps and carriers. It also covers equipment protection, leak checks, flashback arrestors, hydrostatic test dates, shutdown procedures, and tag control for empty vs. full cylinders. Use this checklist to identify hazards, correct nonconformities, and maintain compliance with site standards for safe welding, cutting, and heating operations.

Compressed Gas Cylinder and Fire Fighting Checklist
Use this weekly inspection checklist to ensure safe storage and handling of compressed gas cylinders on site. Verify upright, secured storage; separation of oxygen and fuel gases by at least 20 feet; clear labeling and posted gas names; valve caps and closures; unobstructed egress; corrosion and damage checks; proper transport by hand truck; integrity of regulators, hoses, and relief valves; and approved leak detection. Include procedures for unserviceable cylinders and appropriate hazard signage. Support fire safety readiness and compliance across construction and maintenance operations.

Compressed Gas Cylinder Handling Checklist
Use this practical checklist to manage safe handling, storage, and transport of compressed gas cylinders on site. It covers securing cylinders upright and tied off, using proper carts or dollies, attaching regulators and opening valves slowly, and fitting protective caps when not in use. Conduct visual inspections for leaks, valves, relief devices, and caps, remove unused cylinders from buildings after 24 hours, maintain 20 ft clearance from combustibles with proper signage, and enforce strict no‑smoking controls.
