*compatibility of tube and gas materials
*All gas cylinders should be clearly labeled
*Check valves, tubes, and detectors before opening
*For immediate action, grab a blast shield and cut of inflow of gas
*Any reaction under gaseous pressure must have a vessel strong enough
Proper precautions for explosives:
thorough research and training, safe storage away from potential ignition, heat, or direct sunlight.
Keep good distance, have blast shields, corect PPE, and other training
