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 sessions:
  • Demonstration of ‘milk-churning’ a gas cylinder.
