Safety Advisory: Unauthorized Marking of Compressed Gas Cylinders

This is to notify the public that RSPA is investigating the unauthorized marking of high-pressure compressed gas cylinders by Fire Protection Service (FPS), in Canton, Ohio. RSPA has determined that FPS has marked cylinders indicating they had been retested when they had not been retested. Failure to properly conduct hydrostatic retests can result in unsafe cylinders being returned to service. Serious personal injury, death, and property damage could result from the rupture of a cylinder. Cylinders that have not been retested in accordance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) may not be charged or filled with a hazardous material for transportation in commerce.
