Compressed Gas Safety Training

Compressed Gas Safety Training teaches your workforce how to properly store, handle, and transport compressed gas cylinders in accordance with OSHA standards. This training minimizes the risk of serious injuries, chemical leaks, and fire hazards caused by high-pressure gases and improper practices.

Whether working with acetylene, oxygen, nitrogen, or other pressurized gases, this course gives employees the tools they need to stay safe, confident, and compliant.

Why Compressed Gas Safety Training Is Critical

In 1983, an acetylene cylinder explosion led to multiple fatalities, sparking a wave of new OSHA and NFPA regulations. Improper gas cylinder handling continues to be a leading cause of workplace explosions and flash fires.

Proper training has prevented thousands of similar incidents, saving lives and reducing costly downtime, liability, and OSHA citations.
