Recovery cylinders are typically painted yellow in what area?

Bottom
Shoulder area
Entire cylinder
Center

The correct answer is: Shoulder area

Recovery cylinders are typically painted yellow in the shoulder area to indicate that they are used for recovering refrigerant. The color coding system helps ensure that technicians can easily identify the cylinder's purpose and avoid mixing it up with other types of cylinders that may contain different substances. The shoulder area is the upper section of the cylinder, making it highly visible during operations. Painting this specific part of the cylinder yellow not only promotes safety and compliance with EPA regulations but also helps in efficient operation within the workplace by clearly signaling the functionality of the cylinder to personnel handling refrigerants. This standard aids in preventing contamination of recovered materials and enhances overall workplace safety practices concerning refrigerant management.
