How should empty gas cylinders be labeled?

Empty gas cylinders should be labeled as "EMPTY" and stored upright to ensure safety and effective handling. Labeling them as "EMPTY" clearly communicates their status, preventing confusion with full cylinders, which could have dangerous implications if mistakenly handled as non-pressurized containers.

Storing these cylinders upright is crucial because it minimizes the risk of them falling over, which can cause damage or accidents. Additionally, keeping them in an upright position helps maintain the integrity of the valve and provides easier access for inspection and handling. Following this labeling and storage method adheres to safety protocols that aim to prevent accidents and ensure quick identification of gas status in an emergency situation.
