THIS ORGANIZATION'S FITTINGS HAVE SPECIFIC NOTCHES AND NUMBERS TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH GAS TYPES
WHAT IS THE CGA (COMPRESSED GAS ASSOCIATION)?
THIS IS THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR WATER USED IN TREATING A SMALL CRYOGENIC BURN
WHAT IS 105°F (41°C)?
IN 2006, A LIQUID NITROGEN TANK EXPLODED AT A UNIVERSITY BECAUSE THIS CRUCIAL SAFETY DEVICE WAS REMOVED
WHAT IS A PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICE?
THIS IS THE FIRST STEP WHEN PREPARING TO REPLACE AN EMPTY GAS CYLINDER
WHAT IS "CLOSE THE VALVE, DETACH THE REGULATOR, AND CAP THE TANK"?

WHAT IS A WASHER?
THIS IS THE IMMEDIATE ACTION YOU SHOULD TAKE IF A GAS CYLINDER IS LEAKING
WHAT IS "PULL THE FIRE ALARM AND EVACUATE"?
THIS DEVICE MUST BE USED TO ENSURE THE AIR IS SAFE TO BREATHE BEFORE GOING TO CHECK ON AN UNCONSCIOUS CRYOGEN-EXPOSED VICTIM
WHAT IS AN OXYGEN MONITOR?
USING TOOLS NOT DESIGNED FOR GAS VALVES CAN RESULT IN THIS DANGEROUS OUTCOME
WHAT IS AN UNCONTROLLED LEAK?
THIS SIMPLE TEST CHECKS FOR LEAKS AFTER INSTALLING A NEW TANK
