Question

which of the following statements about cylinder placement are true? select all that apply. cylinders containing oxygen or acetylene shall not be placed in confined spaces. cylinders should be placed as far away as possible from the welding or cutting operation. when in use, fuel gas cylinders should be placed with the valve end up. if you need to review this content, it can be found in the fire prevention module of the welding & cutting topic.

Explanation:

These are standard safety - related practices in welding and cutting operations to prevent hazards like fire, explosion, and gas leakage. Oxygen and acetylene in confined spaces can cause dangerous gas accumulations. Keeping cylinders away from operations reduces fire risk, and having fuel gas cylinders with the valve end up ensures proper gas flow and reduces leakage risks.

Answer:

• Cylinders containing oxygen or acetylene shall not be placed in confined spaces
• Cylinders should be placed as far away as possible from the welding or cutting operation
• When in use, fuel gas cylinders should be placed with the valve end up
