What is the primary purpose of the CGA guidelines regarding compressed gases?

Safe handling of compressed gases
Regulation of gas prices
Designing new gas cylinders
Testing gas purity

The correct answer is: Safe handling of compressed gases

The primary purpose of the CGA (Compressed Gas Association) guidelines is to ensure the safe handling of compressed gases. These guidelines are critical for protecting the health and safety of individuals who work with or are exposed to compressed gases, as well as for preventing accidents that could result from improper use or storage of these gases. Safe handling includes comprehensive protocols and practices for transportation, storage, and operation with compressed gas cylinders. This helps to mitigate risks such as explosions, leaks, and other hazards associated with high-pressure gas systems. While aspects like gas purity testing and gas cylinder design are important in the overall management and quality control of gases, they are not the primary focus of the CGA guidelines. The guidelines primarily address safety concerns to ensure that all handling procedures minimize risks associated with compressed gases.
