How often do the suppliers do an audit of your cylinder holdings?

If you’re lucky it may be 6 monthly or annually? What happens if you lose a cylinder in the first month after they’ve completed an audit?

It’s not picked up until the next audit and in the mean time you have been paying daily rental for a cylinder you don’t have. You are charged for the lost cylinder plus the rental for the last 6 or 12 months.

Being able to identify your own cylinders, especially when working on a site with other companies, is essential when it comes to reducing losses.

Marking your cylinders can assist you to reduce cylinder losses. This is just another simple change that you can make to gain better control of the gas cylinders you have on hire.

Most businesses that utilise gas cylinders, either as essential equipment such as medical gases or a construction company that utilises welding gases; you are probably losing money by not controlling your cylinder rentals.

In a lot of cases these costs are considered an operating cost or built into the contract for the job. If you could reduce your daily rental charges by making some small and simple changes, would you be interested?
