oxygen

oxygen is an oxidising substance and must be stored separately from flammable and combustible materials, organic substances, and reducing agents. Oxidiser storage areas require dedicated ventilation and must be kept cool and dry.

oxygen is stored and transported as a compressed gas. Cylinders must be secured upright, protected from physical damage, and stored away from heat sources. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent accumulation of gas in confined spaces.

This substance carries the signal word DANGER, indicating the more severe hazard categories under GHS/CLP. Facilities handling oxygen should ensure a written hazard communication programme, including current SDS, employee training records, and GHS-compliant labelling on all containers.
