GAS CYLINDER & AEROSOL
CAN STORAGE CAGES
PRATT SAFETY SYSTEMS OFFER A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF GAS CYLINDER STORAGE CAGES TO SUIT MOST
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS. WHETHER IT IS FOR STORING AEROSOL CANS, GAS CYLINDERS, FORKLIFT GAS CYLINDERS
OR A MIXTURE. ALL PRATT GAS CYLINDER STORAGE CAGES COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF AUSTRALIAN
STANDARD AS 4332 AND AS/NZS 1596. REFER TO THESE STANDARDS FOR MORE SPECIFIC STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
AND COMPLIANCE.
CLASS 2: GASES
It is recommended the storage of Class 2 Gases should
be within a wire mesh enclosure, such as our Pratt range
of Gas Cylinder and Aerosol Storage Cages. These
cages provide a secure storage facility for gas cylinders,
encouraging good housekeeping, protection and isolation
of the stored cylinders.
Many workplaces follow the guidelines of Australian
Standard AS1940:2017 the storage and handling of
flammable and combustible liquids and choose to store
their aerosols in a flammable liquids cabinet. Aerosols of
Divisions 2.1 and 2.2 may be stored in a store for Class 3
dangerous goods if projectile protection (e.g. cages) is
provided.
We would recommend you separate these and store
the Aerosols in a dedicated aerosol cages away
from the Cabinet.
Division: 2.1 Flammable gases
Division: 2.2 Non-flammable, non-toxic gases
DANGEROUS GOODS STORAGE
Division: 2.3 Gas Toxic gases

Not all gases can be stored together. The following gases
should be stored in separate cages. For example:
Division 2.1: Flammable Gases should not be stored with
Division 2.3 Toxic Gases.
Division 2.1: Flammable Gases should not be stored with
Division 2.2/5.1 Oxidizing Gases.
Division 2.2/5.1 Oxidizing Gases should not be stored
with Division 2.3 Toxic Gases.
When selecting a gas cylinder storage cage, the above
criteria must be considered, together with the type of gas,
number, and sizing of the cylinders to be stored.
Further consideration must be given to the location of
the storage cage as it is recommended they be located
outdoors to allow for any leakage of gas to dissipate into
the outside air.
