The Compressed Gas Association (CGA) publishes a growing library of resources for users at all experience levels with our industry’s products, as a means of communicating safety information on a wide variety of important topics.
Publications
CGA maintains a library of over 400 publications, safety alerts, safety bulletins, technical bulletins, technical reports, training materials, and our Handbook of Compressed Gases.
Safety Posters
Free downloadable safety posters. Take advantage of and share these free resources to help ensure that all those who come in contact with our industry’s products, may do so safely.
Safety Information
For many of our most popular and searched compressed gases, we publish a “Safety Resource Center”, which provides safety information, related free poster downloads, and other resources in one place.
E-Learning Modules
Our growing library of eLearning modules present core concepts from our standards library in a format that is accessible and engaging for employees who are new to the industry.
News
We publish a steady stream of news articles to this section of our website to help keep all those in the compressed gas industry – both CGA members and non-members – fully informed.
Hydrogen Safety
Hydrogen has been growing in popularity as a viable renewable energy source. CGA has standards, guides, infographics, videos, and more to help learn about hydrogen safety.
Featured Resource
CGA is modernizing the CGA Handbook of Compressed Gases by making it a virtual tool, and we are pleased to announce that the gas monographs are now available in electronic format and can be accessed by going to the Handbook publication detail page and then clicking on the “Handbook Online” button.
The gas monographs provide information on the properties, uses, emergency response, safety, and special handling information for fifty-eight (58) of the most common compressed gases. Each gas monograph opens with basic identifying information: chemical name of the gas, its chemical symbol, synonyms, CAS registry number, DOT and TC proper shipping name, classification, labels, assigned UN number, and GHS classification.

Emergency Response Begins Before the Emergency
The final week of National Safety Month focuses on emergency response, but the most important decisions during an emergency are often made long before one occurs.
Compressed Gases Are Powering the Next Era of Innovation
The innovations making headlines often depend on technologies, processes, and supply chains that most people never see. Yet behind every microchip, data center, advanced manufacturing facility, and emerging energy solution are industrial and specialty gases enabling those systems to operate safely and reliably.
Why Standards Matter: The Foundation of Safety, Reliability and Innovation
Whether oxygen is being delivered to a hospital, carbon dioxide is preserving food, hydrogen is fueling new energy applications or semiconductor gases are supporting advanced manufacturing, one thing remains constant: standards make it possible.
Avoiding Accidents Starts Long Before an Incident
June is National Safety Month, and this week's theme, Avoiding Accidents, serves as an important reminder: most incidents don't happen because someone intended to take a risk. More often, they occur when small steps are skipped, assumptions are made, or routine tasks become so familiar that hazards fade into the background.
Cylinder Safety Legislation Advances as Part of House Transportation Package
The compressed gas industry reached an important milestone in May as cylinder safety legislation was incorporated into the Build America 250 Act, the House's five-year Surface Transportation Reauthorization package.
