About the course
What this course covers.
A compressed gas cylinder stores a great deal of energy in a small steel container, and a damaged or mishandled cylinder can behave like a rocket or a fragmentation bomb. Industrial and laboratory work depends on these cylinders, and the people who use them carry the responsibility to manage them safely. This course gives workers that knowledge.
The course covers the common and unique hazards of working with compressed gas cylinders, the proper identification requirements including labelling and colour coding, and the storage techniques the cylinders need - segregation, securing, and signage. It works through the proper handling, transportation, and use of compressed gas cylinders to prevent the leaks, burns, and explosions a mishandled cylinder can cause.
Companies use the course to train anyone who works with or around compressed gas cylinders and to give a documented training record an auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for.

What learners say
Trusted by Canadian crews
Our shop runs on cylinders. The storage and segregation section is the part that fixed real bad habits in how we stored oxygen and fuel gas.
Greg H.
Welding Shop Supervisor
Short and practical. The labelling and colour-coding content helped new workers actually identify what they were handling.
Nadia P.
Safety Coordinator
Good reminder of how much energy is in those bottles. The transport section was the useful part for our crew.
Tom R.

Certificate and format
How the course runs
Your certificate
Testing runs throughout the course and a mark of 80 percent earns the certificate; the course can be taken up to three times to reach the pass mark. On completion the worker downloads and prints a certificate of completion.
- Fully online and self-paced - about 45 minutes of content
- Mobile-friendly - start on a laptop, finish on a phone
- Instant access as soon as the course is purchased
- Suitable for anyone who works with or around compressed gas
- Pass mark is 80 percent, with up to three attempts
Why it matters for compliance
Occupational health and safety legislation requires that compressed gases are stored, handled, and labelled safely, and that workers are trained on the hazard. This course provides that training and the documented record a COR auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for.
Common questions
Questions buyers ask
How much does the Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety course cost?
- The course is 54.99 CAD per seat. Use code ONTRACK10 at checkout for 10 percent off an individual purchase, or set up a free On-Track Safety corporate account for 20 percent off every course for the first three months when training a crew.
How long does the course take?
- The course is about 45 minutes of content and is fully self-paced, so it can be completed in a single short session.
Does the certificate expire?
- The certificate of completion does not carry an expiry date. Many employers refresh the training periodically as part of their health and safety program.
Why are compressed gas cylinders dangerous?
- A compressed gas cylinder stores energy under high pressure. If it is damaged or mishandled, it can rupture violently, and the gas inside may be flammable, toxic, or an asphyxiant. The course covers both the physical and chemical hazards.
Does the course cover storage?
- Yes. The course covers storage techniques including the segregation of cylinders, securing them upright, and the signage a storage area needs, alongside handling and transport.
