Do you have an audit coming up? S.J. Smith can help with that. We can make sure your cylinders are secured correctly, check to see if you are using the correct regulators, and confirm that you’re using the recommended gas storage methods.

Should you utilize gas monitors in your storage area? Do you need a single-stage vs a two-stage regulator? What tubing or piping materials should you be using?

We can also answer those questions as well as whether you need flash arrestors, how to handle and move cylinders, and how to store your cylinders. 

In addition, we can make recommendations on gas-handling equipment. For instance, are you connecting and disconnecting your regulator every time you exchange a cylinder? If so – a protocol station might be a great option.

S.J. Smith recommends getting a safety audit for your lab annually, or anytime you have a personnel change, to ensure best practices going forward.
