In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) urges everyone to prioritize safety when handling compressed gases and equipment. Natural disasters like hurricanes and floods can seriously damage gas cylinders, posing risks of leaks, contamination, and even catastrophic failure. Key Safety Concerns: - Submersion in water - Impact from debris - Exposure to contaminants like mud or oil - Physical damage from falling objects Recommended Safety Practices: - Always wear proper PPE - Inspect cylinders for damage - Segregate cylinders by hazard class - Contact the supplier if you're unsure of the cylinder’s condition ⚠️ Never attempt to handle damaged cylinders without proper training.
