CGA P-2.7

The purpose of this publication is to describe the recommended precautions and safety procedures to be followed when liquid oxygen systems are used within health care facilities. Mishandling of oxygen presents potential hazards to both trained and untrained persons. It is therefore important that personnel who assume the responsibility for oxygen equipment and its use be familiar with the hazards of oxygen, the operational characteristics of the equipment, and the precautions to be observed while using it.
