Helium Cylinder Safety Precautions

What to do?

Read, understand and observe the safety precautions on the cylinder neck label and
the warning label on the side of the cylinder.

Store and use helium cylinders in a well ventilated area and in an upright secured
position so they cannot be knocked over.

Cylinders must be chained to a wall or placed in a safety stand at all times.

Close the cylinder valve after each use and when cylinder is empty. Remove the
regulator and replace the cylinder protective cap before transporting any helium
cylinders.

Use a cylinder cart to move cylinders.

Always open cylinder valves very, very slowly. Stand to one side of the cylinder when
opening the valve; never stand directly in front of the cylinder.

Always keep helium stored in a well ventilated area.

What not to do?

Do not allow anyone to inhale helium from cylinders or filled balloons.

Do not open the cylinder valve before attaching a balloon regulator on the cylinder
valve.

Do not allow children or any unauthorized persons to handle cylinders or use balloon
filling equipment.

Never leave a cylinder unattended in a public area.

Never use any balloon regulator, cylinder or valve fitting that is damaged, leaking or
malfunctioning. Have the product repaired or replaced immediately.

Do not drop, drag, tip over or roll the helium cylinder on its side.
