The use of gas and chemical cylinders is rampant throughout lab and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. Compressed gas cylinders can become missiles in a seismic event, capable of exploding through a concrete wall or even launching itself for a quarter mile or more.

Traditional methods for restraining cylinders within labs have generally been insufficient, as they are lightly attached to lab counters or walls with a single chain or strap.

At WorkSafe, we offer a modular steel corral system that is space-efficient for use within the lab, as well as stand-up cylinder holders of stainless construction.

These systems are available for standard gas cylinders or for nitrogen tanks, and all have the code approved double chain restraint system.
