For example:- Never let anyone smoke while you're using oxygen
- keep oxygen at least six feet away from flames or heat sources, such as gas cookers and gas heaters
- don't use flammable liquids, such as cleaning fluid, paint thinner or aerosols, while using oxygen
- don't use oil-based emollients, such as Vaseline, when using oxygen
- install fire alarms and smoke detectors in your home and make sure they're working
- inform your local fire brigade that you have oxygen at home
- keep oxygen cylinders upright to prevent them being damaged.
