Compressed Air

Compressed air stores energy at high pressure and therefore it must be handled with care. Improper use can lead to serious injury and even death. A strong blast of air can dislodge an eye socket or rupture an eardrum, and air blown into the mouth can cause oesophagus or lung damage. This program identifies the risks and safe work practices that should be followed when handling, transporting, securing, and storing compressed cylinders.
