Gas In-Use tag
These tags are used to indicate which reactive gases are turned on and
which reactive gases are turned off. These are located in the various
equipment chases. It is recommended the user goes into these chases
to verify that the gases they plan to use are in the on state and gauges
are reading the proper pressure before using the tool.
In use and Lockout cylinder donuts
Users need to be aware that there are multiple cylinders of the same gases
within the equipment chase that support different tools. Some of these tools
require a certain gas to perform the proper chemical reaction to make a safe
process. If one of these gases get turned off it could cause a unsafe process.
Users need to be aware of safety donuts located on top of the cylinder. These
donuts are also used to lockout process gases.
