Proper Storage: Calibration gas cylinders should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. They should be secured upright to prevent tipping and damage.

Use Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear suitable PPE, including gloves, safety glasses, and, if necessary, a face shield or respiratory protection.

Ensure Proper Ventilation: When using calibration gas, ensure the area is well-ventilated to prevent the accumulation of potentially hazardous gases.

Check Equipment Regularly: Inspect all gas detection and calibration equipment regularly for leaks, damage, or wear. Use only equipment rated for the specific gas type and concentration.

Follow Manufacturer Instructions: Adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines for the use and handling of calibration gas.

Training and Awareness: Ensure all personnel handling calibration gas are properly trained in its use, potential hazards, and emergency procedures.

Use Gas Detection Systems: Implement gas detection systems in storage and usage areas to monitor for leaks or hazardous concentrations of gas.

Labeling and Documentation: Clearly label all calibration gas cylinders with their contents, concentration, and expiration date.

Emergency Preparedness: Have an emergency response plan in place, including the availability of first aid equipment, eye wash stations, and emergency contact numbers.

Avoiding Contamination: Clean and purge equipment properly before switching to a different gas to ensure accurate calibration and prevent hazardous reactions.
