How do I ensure that our staff are handling gases safely?
It is one thing to highlight to an employee the relevant safety datasheets and codes of practice (even if you are aware of all of them) it is quite different to be able to demonstrate that your team has got the required competencies to be handling gases on your site, and possible even on your customers sites. To be able to breed this level of confidence requires particular training on the core items.
This could include both classroom style training about the theory of properties, safety devices, etc, but also it could incorporate practical training on manual handling and on connecting and disconnecting regulators. With the correct training it is even possible to accredit staff with those competencies when you know they will be handling calibrations on customer sites. This can turn an area of concern to a marketable advantage.
Are there any regulations or recommendations on correct storage of gases?
