Safe Use of Manifold Systems with Practical Connecting Regulators

• Introduction – Outline of workshop content and objectives.
• The need for personal protective equipment.
• Design and function of gas regulators.
• Team exercise – Pre-use visual checks on regulators and hoses.
• Team exercise – Correct connection of a single cylinder system.
• How manifold systems operate.
• Team exercise – Correct cylinder changeover procedures on a generic manifold system.
• Regulatory requirements with manifold systems.
• Practical ‘milk-churning’ of a single cylinder
• Practical workshop sessions – Staff will set-up, pressurise and leak test a single cylinder nitrogen system. The session will cover:
  • Pre-use visual check procedures.
  • Correct fitting of regulators and hoses.
  • Preparing cylinders for use.
  • Exchanging cylinders on fixed supply systems.
  • Connecting cylinders safely.
  • Setting correct pressures.
  • Leak-test procedures.
  • Safe system shut-down.
• Review of current cylinder changeover procedures undertaken on the manifold system(s).

This training provides staff with detailed information on how manifold systems operate, and the opportunity to practise hands-on connecting a regulator and hose to a cylinder. It also allows staff to safely pressurise the system and leak test it.

Before attending this workshop all staff must complete safety awareness theory training, which can be delivered at your site by an instructor or completed online by e-learning.
