There are special rules regarding the storage of oxygen cylinders, as they need to be kept so that they do not get damaged or pose risks. You should check your workplace risk assessments for the correct storage method and make sure this is reviewed and kept up to date. The general rules for the storage of medical-grade oxygen cylinders are, they need to be stored under cover, preferably inside, kept dry, clean, not subject to extreme heat or cold. And away from stocks of combustible material. They need to be stored separately from industrial and non-medical cylinders. They need to be stored to maintain separation between full and empty cylinders. They need to be used on strict rotation so the cylinders with the earliest filing dates are used first. This ensures that cylinders are less like to be old. They need to be stored separately from other medical cylinders within the store. F-cylinders and larger cylinders should be stored vertically. E-cylinders and smaller cylinders should be stored horizontally. Warning notices prohibiting smoking and naked flames must be posted clearly in the cylinder storage area and emergency services must also need to be advised of the location of the cylinder store. Finally, portable oxygen kits also need to be stored correctly and safely in accordance with guidelines and in the manufacturer's recommendations. This applies also to the storage of portable kits in vehicles.
