harus dibuka kerangannya secara perlaha-lahan, setiap kerangan botol harus dalam
keadaan tertutup bila sedang tidak digunakan atau kosong.

4.1.8 All cylinders shall have a valve protection device, either a welded-on cage, or screw
on cap. If a cap is provided it shall be refitted whenever the cylinder is not in use.
Setiap botol gas harus dilengkapi dengan peralatan pengaman untuk kerangan, bila
tutup pengaman tersedia, tutuplah botol gas bila tidak digunakan.

4.1.9 Only standard automatic pressure regulator and pressure gauges shall be fitted to
oxygen and acetylene when in use. Flash back arrestor shall be used at both ends of
the hose, ie, immediately after the regulator and immediately before the torch. The

ditempat yang banyak mengandung minyak dan stempet, ini termasuk
dalam menghandle botol tsb tangan tidak boleh mengandung lemak
atau minyak.

4.2.1.4 Cylinders shall be kept at a safe distance from any heat source and
heating equipment must not be installed in store rooms where

antar botol harus sesuai dgn aturan Safety, simpan mereka dengan
jarak pemisah sekitar 3 meter.

4.2.1.7 Propane and acetylene cylinders shall always be stored vertically and
securely. Oxygen cylinders may be stored either vertically or
horizontally and, if stacked horizontally, it must be done pyramid
fashion with not more than 15 to a stack. The largest cylinders shall be

cylinders.
Tutup pengaman botol harus selalu terpasang pada botol.

4.2.2.5 Cylinder shall not be transported with regulators and hoses attached
unless a proper trolley are used. Cylinders should be lifted using a web
sling and not a chain sling to avoid the possibility of sparking.
Botol gas tidak boleh dipindahkan dengan regulator dan selang masih
terpasang kecuali menggunakan kereta khusus untuk botol, botol gas
harus diangkat dgn menggunakan web sling tidak boleh memakai
rantai atau wire rope.

4.3 COLOUR CODING OF CYLINDERS

Code warna pada botol gas
.
Gas cylinders are normally colour coded for identification. It is important to be able to
identify cylinders readily. The following table shows typical cylinder colours and
characteristic for some gases likely to be used, based on British Standard:
Untuk indikasi dari setiap botol normalnya diberi code warna, hal ini sangat penting untuk
mengetahui jenis gas.Berikut adalah table menyatakan type gas, karakteristik, sesuai dengan
british standard.

Type Gas Characteristics Cylinders Colour Code

Oxygen No smell – toxic in high concentrations. Will not burn Black
but supports and accelerates combustion. Materials not
normally considered combustible may be ignited by
sparks in oxygen rich atmosphere.
Nitrogen No smell – does not burn. Inert except at high Grey
temperatures. Non-toxic but does not support life so
could cause asphyxiation in high concentration.
Argon No smell-heavier than air-does not burn-inert. Will Peacock Blue
cause asphyxiation in absence of sufficient oxygen to
support life.
Acetylene Distinctive garlic-like smell. Fire and explosion Reddish Brown /
hazards are more severe than those of propane. Maroon
However it is lighter than air and less likely to collect
in ducts and drains.
Propane Distinctive fish-like smell. Will ignite and burn Normally bright
instantly from a spark or piece of hot metal. Is heavier red and bearing
than air and will collect in ducts, drains etc words ‘Propane’
and ‘Highly
Flammable’.
Hydrogen No smell-non toxic. Much lighter than air. Will collect Normally Red
Bright at the highest point in any enclosed space unless
ventilated there. Extreme fire and explosive hazard.
Air French Grey
CO2 No-smell heavier than air does not burn. Will cause Black

asphyxiation in absence of sufficient oxygen to support

life.

Note: If all cylinders gas do not follow requirement of BS, Depnaker or Migas standard,
subcontractor must be requested PT. Rekayasa Industri to check the gas content and
provide sign as clearly as possible.
Bila ketentuan BS, Depnaker, atau Migas tidak diikuti, subkontraktor harus meminta
Rekayasa Industri untuk memeriksa isi atau jenis gas dan menyiapkan stiker.

4.4 HANDLING AND USE OF COMPRESSED AIR

Penanganan dan penggunaan udara bertekanan.

4.4.1 Extreme caution shall be taken when using compressed air. An air hose shall never
be aimed at any person. Compressed air can be extremely dangerous when misused.
Air under pressure may pass right through clothing and cause severe or fatal internal
injury.
Perhatian khusus harus diterapkan bila menggunakan udara bertekanan, Udara
bertekanan sangat berbahaya bila tidak digunakan sesuai aturan, Udara bertekanan
dapat masuk kedalam pakaian dan menyebabkan kecelakaan yang serius.

4.4.2 Compressed air shall not be used for blowing dust / chips from hair, clothing or
workbench.
Udara bertekanan tidak boleh digunakan untuk membersihkan debu dari rambut,
dan pakaian

4.4.3 In addition the requirement of Pneumatic Powered Tools and

Equipment, this procedure shall also apply. Before Pneumatic test
apply, the HSE officer must be do pressure test checklist.
Sebagai tambahan ketentuan dari Pneumatic Powered Tools dan
peralatan, prosedur ini juga akan diterapkan. Sebelum pneumatic test
dilaksanakan, Petugas Safety harus memeriksa pressure test check
list.
