Guidelines for Transporting Medical Oxygen

1. Displaying Compressed Gas Sign

Use of the Compressed Gas Sign:

• When transporting medical oxygen on a vehicle, display the green diamond sticker (100 ml x 100 ml) known as the compressed gas sign.
• However, do not keep the sticker on the vehicle if you are not carrying any cylinders.

2. Easy-to-Attach Magnets

Convenient Signage Solution:

• We provide magnets that can be easily attached to and detached from the vehicle.
• The reason for removing the signage without cylinders on board is to avoid ambiguity in case of accidents.
• Emergency services may assume cylinders are present and take appropriate precautions.

3. Understanding Water Capacity

Measuring Cylinder Size:

• Cylinder sizes are measured in water capacity.
• For example, a two-litre cylinder, when filled with water without compression, holds two litres.
• Scale this up to 1,000 litres for better understanding.

4. Maximum Cylinder Limit

Stay Within Safe Limits:

• Consider the 1,000 litres water capacity when calculating the number of cylinders your vehicle can carry.
• For instance, our largest 40-litre cylinders can be transported up to a limit of 25 before complying with ADR regulations.
