Cylinder Labeling
OSHA requires that gas cylinders in workplaces have specific labeling that explains the type of gas in the cylinder. Employees can mark the cylinders with either the trade name of the gas or the chemical name of the gas. For example, workers could label a cylinder that contains oxygen as either "O2" or "oxygen gas." If possible, workers should put gas cylinder labels on the shoulders of the cylinders. They should also make sure to label them with strong enough stenciling or labels so that the label does not wear off easily.
