10. PRECAUTIONS WHICH SHALL BE TAKEN IN WORKING
AREA
• Keep the flame away from the gas source, keep at least 3m safety distance (gas cylinders,
pipeline, and hoses)
• Do not expose acetylene cylinder, pipeline, hoses and tubes to temperatures higher than
50°C (130°F).
• Oxygen does not catch fire by itself, however in case of contact with another flammable
material it easily catches fire.
• Make sure that rate of oxygen within the working area is not higher than the rate in
atmosphere.
• Flame forming as a result of contact of oxygen with lubricant, grease or other hydro-carbons
lead to fire and explosions. Keep all components which can be in touch with oxygen free
from oil and grease.
• Oxygen, propane, propylene and their mixtures are heavier than air.
• Ventilate the working room sufficiently during cutting.
• Keep fire extinguisher, sand, water, etc. available in working area.
• Keep flammable materials away from the location of cutting and from the sparks.
