Gas Safety
Managing Gas Risks in Healthcare
Medical gas is administered to at least 60% of patients during their stay in hospital.
All staff managing or administering medical gas have a responsibility to minimise risk to patients, staff and visitors.
Correct hospital procedures, regular training and appropriate facilities are all vital if medical gases are to be managed safely.
