CHAPTER 7: CLOSE-DOWN PROCEDURES 8
Most major fires occur during unoccupied periods and it is therefore of vital importance that a close-down procedure specifically aimed at fire prevention be adopted. This standard covers procedures and checks to be used for normal close-down at the end of a working day and must not be confused with emergency close-downs, witch may require different action. Also, were shift work is involved, care must be taken to incorporate applicable procedures/checks between shifts as well as at end of day or week.

CHAPTER 10: GAS CYLINDERS 10
In industry, gases may be encountered in the following areas:- Compressed in drawn steel cylinders (e.g. Oxygen and Hydrogen). Liquefied under pressure in welded steel cylinders (e.g. Propane, Butane and Chlorine). In a free state, mixed with the surrounding air (eg. Resulting from a leak).
