The correct storage of gas cylinders is crucial for safety and compliance, guided by four key principles.

At Emtez, we ensure you meet these standards by offering secure and well-ventilated storage solutions.

Firstly, gas cylinder stores should be located externally on your site and be fully secured. Additionally, they should have good natural ventilation and be free from ignition sources or combustible materials. Proper segregation of gases is essential, and while the guidance is straightforward, it is critical to understand it fully.

Remember - your insurance provider and local authority fire brigade may have specific requirements regarding the location of your gas cylinder store. Involving them in the decision making process is good practise to ensure full compliance.
