As hydrogen projects expand into new applications and industries, safety remains a top priority. To support professionals across the hydrogen value chain—from engineers and operators to safety managers and technicians—the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) has released a suite of resources centered around one essential standard: CGA H-7, Standard Procedures for Hydrogen Supply Systems.
What is CGA H-7?
CGA H-7 provides best practices for working with both gaseous and cryogenic liquid hydrogen systems. It covers:
- Key hydrogen properties and associated hazards
- General principles for safely operating hydrogen supply systems
- Detailed procedures for commissioning (putting into service) and decommissioning (taking out of service) hydrogen systems, either after installation or maintenance
Whether you’re overseeing a hydrogen refueling station, managing industrial gas supply, or supporting a new clean energy installation, CGA H-7 provides foundational guidance for safe and effective operations.
Watch: Hydrogen Safety in Seconds
To complement CGA H-7 and reach a broader audience, CGA has launched two snackable safety videos that highlight key procedures and safety considerations for hydrogen systems. Each runs about two minutes and is designed for quick learning and easy sharing.
🎥 You can find them, and all our hydrogen safety videos, on our YouTube Channel.
These videos are ideal for toolbox talks, onboarding, and refresher training.
Go Deeper: New E-Learning Module on CGA TM-13
For professionals who want to build a deeper understanding of hydrogen system operations, CGA has also launched a new e-learning module based on CGA TM-13. This training module provides step-by-step instruction on:
- Evaluating system conditions
- Safe startup and shutdown procedures
- Hazard mitigation techniques
- Real-world scenarios and best practices
The module is self-paced and ideal for technical teams, safety staff, and anyone responsible for hydrogen system integrity.
Hydrogen safety isn’t optional—it’s essential. With CGA H-7, bite-sized videos, and in-depth training now available, CGA is helping the industry build the knowledge and confidence needed to operate safely and responsibly in the hydrogen space.
