Compliant with Australian Standard 4332-2004
Australian safety standards are among the strictest in the world. The AS4332-2004 standard specifically governs the storage and handling of gases in cylinders, outlining the requirements for the safe storage of Class 2 dangerous goods.
Our gas cylinder storage cages are manufactured to comply with this standard, ensuring that your storage setup meets all legal and safety requirements.
The AS4332-2004 standard covers various aspects of gas cylinder storage, including secure enclosures, proper ventilation, and protection against external hazards. By choosing Steelspan’s gas cylinder storage cages, you’re not just purchasing a product but investing in peace of mind, knowing that your storage solution is built to adhere to the highest safety benchmarks.
Why compliance matters
Non-compliance with AS4332-2004 can lead to severe consequences, including hefty fines, legal actions, and, most critically, the risk of accidents.
Gas cylinders contain highly-pressurised flammable gas, which can be extremely dangerous if not stored correctly. From potential fire hazards to the risk of explosion, improper storage can have catastrophic outcomes (especially near heat and ignition sources). Compliance with AS4332-2004 ensures that your storage methods minimise these risks, protecting your employees and assets.
Meeting these standards is not just about avoiding penalties; it’s about fostering a safety culture within your organisation. When your team knows their working environment is equipped with compliant storage solutions, it builds trust and confidence, ultimately contributing to better productivity and morale.
Ventilation according to AS4332 Requirements
Proper ventilation is a critical component of AS4332-2004 and storing gas cylinders. Gas bottles and aerosol cans must be stored upright where potential leaks are adequately dispersed to prevent dangerous gas buildups. Our gas cylinder storage cages are designed with natural ventilation in mind, ensuring that your storage area remains safe and compliant with Australian gas storage requirements.
Proper ventilation helps to reduce the risk of asphyxiation, which can occur if gases accumulate in confined spaces. Using a Steelspan gas cylinder storage cage ensures that any inadvertent leaks are safely managed, preventing the potentially fatal consequences of gas build-up.
The durability & security of our gas cylinder storage cages
Beyond compliance and ventilation, Steelspan’s gas cylinder storage cages are built for weather protection and reliability, offering long-lasting damage and corrosion protection.
The cages feature heavy-duty locks and sturdy construction, deterring tampering, theft, and vandalism. This level of security is essential not only for protecting dangerous goods and valuable assets but also for ensuring that your storage area is safe from external threats that could compromise the integrity of the cylinders.
Secure storage solutions with easy installation & maintenance
Time is money, and we understand that in a busy industrial environment, the ease of installation and maintenance is crucial. Steelspan’s gas cylinder storage cages are designed for straightforward assembly, with all necessary components included for a hassle-free setup.
Our cages come with clear instructions, allowing you to have your storage solution up and running quickly.
