What HSE guidance exists on handling and use of gases?
HSE has produced some guidance on cylinder gases but this is limited to a handful of documents and in the main the references it uses are documents and Codes of Practice produced by the Industrial Gas industry itself through the member association the BCGA - British Compressed Gas Association. (www.bcga.co.uk for list of publications). HSE is regularly involved in discussion with the BCGA and has the opportunity to comment on codes of practice.
