Answer

To organize the correct storage of gas cylinders, you need to know the following.
Gas cylinders should be stored in a warehouse, or in a special place specifically (subject to a number of conditions).
According to "When the storage and operation of gas cylinders" (App. First Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation V.A.Yanvarev on May 21, 2004):
Extract
3.3. Gas cylinders should be stored in single-storey warehouses with light-type coatings equipped with ventilation, without attic rooms. The walls of the warehouse must be carried out from non-combustible materials; Windows and doors must open out. The height of the warehouse must be at least 3.25 m; Lighting must be performed in explosion-proof design.
3.4. The floors in the storage room must be carried out from materials that exclude sparking when they hit with metal objects. Floors should be laid out at least 0.1 m from the ground level.
3.5. Acetylene, oxygen cylinders and cylinders with liquefied gas must be stored separately. Cylinders are installed in a vertical position with screwed caps and plugs on the fittings of the valves.

3.6. Cylinders need to firmly fix with clamps or chains and protect against sunlight and exposure to heating devices and devices.
3.7. Gas cylinders installed in the room should be positioned at a distance of at least 1 m from the heating radiator and at least 5 m from the source of open fire heat.
3.8. When a screen device protecting cylinders from heating, the distance between the cylinder and the heating device can be reduced to 0.5 m.
3.9. The distance between the cylinders and the safety screen should be at least 10 cm.
3.10. It is necessary to set at a distance of at least 0.5 m from the door and windows of the first floor and 3 m - from the windows and doors of the basement and basement floors, as well as sewer wells and cesspools.
3.11. It is not allowed to accommodate cylinders from spare (fire) exits from the premises, from the main facades of buildings, in drives with intensive traffic movement.
3.12. Store combustible materials and produce work related to the use of open fire (blacksmith, welding, soldering, etc.), in a radius closer than 25 m from the cylinder warehouse is prohibited.
Pot R O-14000-007-98 "Position. Labor protection when storing materials "regulates the following:
"Warehouses for storing cylinders with compressed and liquefied gases can be open, semi-closed, closed and placed no closer than 20 m from production, administrative and warehouse buildings, not closer to 50 meters from residential buildings and not closer to 100 m from public buildings" ( § 3.132.).

Extract
355. When storing gas:
a) the windows of the premises where cylinders with gas are stored, they are painted with white paint or equipped with sunscreen non-combustible devices;
b) when storing cylinders on the open areas of structures, protecting cylinders from precipitation and sunlight, are performed from non-combustible materials;
c) fuel cylinders should be stored separately from cylinders with oxygen, compressed air, chlorine, fluorine and other oxidizing agents, as well as from cylinders;
d) the placement of group balloon installations is allowed in deaf (not having openings) of external walls of buildings. Cabinets and booths, where cylinders are placed, are performed from non-combustible materials and have natural ventilation, eliminating the formation of explosive mixtures in them;
e) When storing and transporting cylinders with oxygen, it is impossible to make oils (fats) and contact the reinforcement of the cylinder with oiled materials. When the cylinders with oxygen cylinders are manually not allowed to be taken for valves;
e) Gas analyzers should be installed in the premises to control the formation of explosive concentrations. In the absence of gas analyzes, the head of the organization must establish the order of selection and control of the samples of the gas-air environment;
g) when the gas leak is detected from the cylinders, they must be removed from the warehouse in a safe place;
h) to a warehouse where cylinders with flammable gas are not allowed in shoes, shot down by metal nails or horses;
and) cylinders with flammable gas, having shoes, are stored in a vertical position in special nests, cells or other devices that exclude their fall. Cylinders that do not have shoes are stored in a horizontal position on frames or racks. The height of the stack in this case should not exceed 1.5 meters, and the valves should be closed by safety caps and be treated in one direction;
k) the storage of any other substances, materials and equipment in the premises of warehouses with flammable gas is not allowed;
l) Warehouses are provided by natural ventilation.
