Frequently Asked Questions
Compression gas cylinders are strong, sealed containers specifically built to store gases under high pressure. These cylinders are manufactured in such a way that they can withstand internal pressure and are able to safely contain gases, which may be compressed, liquefied, or dissolved.
This Compressed Gas Safety Program Training is important as it:
- Assists in safe handling, using, and working around compressed gas cylinders.
- Protects against the dangers that might arise from leaks, fire, explosion, asphyxiation, and mechanical failure of cylinders.
- Develops skills necessary to conduct a proper pre-use check and identify cylinders that are damaged, leaking, or installed improperly.
- Instructs on how to operate, store, and transport cylinders to avoid tipping, valve damage, and unplanned gas releases.
- Helps users comply with OSHA regulations and safe practices when working with compressed gas cylinders.

- Online, in-person, and virtual training options are available to enable employers to choose which format best fits workforce needs and schedules.
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Employees who handle or work with compressed gas cylinders should receive refresher training every three years to maintain safe work practices. Refresher training is recommended when:
- Unsafe handling or storage practices are observed;
- An incident, leak, near-miss, or cylinder-related event occurs; or
- New hazards, gases, equipment, or procedures are introduced into the workplace.
Certificate of Completion: Immediately after passing the final exam, you can download, save, or print your certificate in PDF format.
Validity: The compressed gas cylinder course certificate remains valid for three years.
Renewal: Simply take this course in 36 months to maintain compliance and stay up-to-date on compressed gas cylinders best practices.

Clear, practical, and well-structured course. It explained the types of compressed gas cylinders, applicable OSHA standards, and classifications of gases in a straightforward manner that can be applied on the job site.
Very detailed and accurate inspection guidance. I found the pre-use inspection steps for valves, caps, and pressure gauges especially useful. Also, the explanation of abnormal pressure conditions improved my installation work.
Strong focus on storage and transportation safety. Instructors provided clear and logical explanations of how to segregate incompatible gases and how to label cylinders correctly. Our facility's unsafe storage habits were fixed through this training.
Simple, logical, and easy to follow. The part that covers PPE, leak detection, and how to deal with abandoned cylinders is very useful. The final safety checklist is something we will use daily.
