Answer #1

The safety instructions are:
• Avoid open flames. Don’t smoke or be around others who are smoking.
• Keep oxygen tanks at least 5 feet from gas stoves, space heaters, or any heat source.
• Keep the door to the room open so that air circulates and is not stuffy.
• Store oxygen tanks upright in a secure, approved storage device.
• If there is a hissing noise or if the tank is knocked over, turn off the tank right away
• Be careful not to trip over the tubing of the oxygen tank.
• Don’t use lotions or creams that contain petroleum jelly as it is flammable.
• Turn off oxygen when not in use.
• Post signs saying oxygen in use in all the rooms.
