Hi guys, I have recently started work on a fish farm, one of the first questions put to me was the issue of storing Oxygen Cylinders on sea sites. if any one knows where I could get info on this please let me know. Thanks

Gerry

The issues arn't going to be too different from their use on shore, i.e.:

1. Cylinders should be properly secured - not bits of rope!
2. Oxygen should be kept away from combustible materials - e.g. fuel
3. Keep in a well ventilated enclosure not in confined space such inside a vessel

Another issue would be how you transfer cylinders which may be a significant manual handling risk.

Regards
