Acetylene storage

[Guest Craig]

Hi 

Do all acetylene bottles need to be stored in a locked cage away from the building when not in use? If so where is the guidance for this? 

We only have 1 small oxy/acetylene setup, will this need to be caged off outside when not in use e.g night time? 

Thanks
