How should an operator store an empty chlorine cylinder?

Horizontally, tagged as empty
Upright, tagged as empty
Under pressure, tagged as empty
In a locked cabinet, tagged as empty

The correct answer is: Upright, tagged as empty

When storing an empty chlorine cylinder, it is vital to keep it upright and tagged as empty. Storing the cylinder upright helps prevent any potential damage to the valve, which is crucial in maintaining safety. It also avoids any possibility of residue that might remain within the cylinder from coming into contact with the valve in an inappropriate manner. Tagging the cylinder as empty is equally important, as it alerts personnel that the cylinder no longer contains chlorine and should be handled accordingly. This helps to prevent accidental use or improper handling of what may be perceived as a full cylinder. Maintaining cylinders in an upright position is a standard safety practice in handling gas cylinders, as it ensures the integrity of the valve and minimizes risks associated with leakage or unintended pressurization.
