Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen makes things burn much faster. Think of what happens when you blow into a fire; it makes the flame bigger. If you are using oxygen in your home, you must take extra care to stay safe from fires and objects that might burn.
Detailed explanation-2: -* Contact with liquid Oxygen can cause severe skin and eye irritation and burns as well as frostbite. * Breathing pure Oxygen at high pressures can cause nausea, dizziness, muscle twitching, vision loss, convulsions (fits), and loss of consciousness.
Detailed explanation-3: -Even a small increase in the oxygen level in the air to 24 % can create a fire hazard. In an oxygen-enriched environment, materials become easier to ignite and fires will burn hotter and more fiercely than in normal air.
Detailed explanation-4: -Notify the fire department and the electric company that you are using oxygen. Place “Oxygen in Use” signs in visible areas. Never place the tank or machine near an open flame (e.g., matches, lit candles, a stove in use). Always turn your oxygen off when not in use. More items
