This section describes the procedure for replacement of gas bottles.
1. Check when the bottle where exchanged for the last time on the “gas bottle exchange record sheet”.
* If the CO2 bottles have already been changed in the 48 h prior to the alarm, change the bottles and immediately contact the Facility Manager (LCSB-INF-01-A-01)
* If the last change was made more than 48h before, change the bottles and contact the duty call manager (see below)
2. Replace the empty bottles in room S130
