§ 15-26-810 — Storage of oxygen cylinders

15-26-810 Storage of oxygen cylinders.

Cylinders of oxygen shall never be stored in the same room or compartment used for the storage of calcium carbide or cylinders containing fuel gases, or in an acetylene generator compartment. Cylinders of oxygen, except those in actual use, shall be stored away from highly flammable material, especially oil, grease or any substance likely to cause or accelerate fire. Cylinders of oxygen shall be stored in locations where they are not likely to be struck by passing or falling objects. Oxygen cylinders shall be protected against excessive rise of temperature. Cylinders may be stored in the open, but in such cases shall be protected against extremes of weather. During winter, cylinders stored in the open shall be protected against accumulations of ice or snow. (Coun. J. 12-9-92, p. 25465; Amend Coun. J. 2-7-96, p. 15616)
