How to safely transport gas cylinders
Our knowledgeable staff at the Gas & Gear stores can guide you through fulfilling your obligations according to the relevant regulations for transporting gas cylinders.
Additionally, it is important to ensure that:
• An open or well-ventilated vehicle is used
• You carry a 2kg fire extinguisher
• Cylinder valves are closed and equipment disconnected
• Cylinders are safely secured (often in an upright position) within the vehicle
• You have the Safety Data Sheet for the gas being transported
• If you suspect there's a leak while you're transporting the cylinder, pull over in a safe, well-ventilated area and contact BOC immediately.
