Is It Safe to Use Industrial LPG Cylinders for Welding and Cutting? What Precautions Are Needed?

Use of Industrial LPG Cylinders for Welding, Brazing, or Cutting

Can we use industrial LPG cylinders for welding, brazing, or cutting purposes? If it is allowed, what safety precautions should I take to avoid any kind of incidents?

LPG Cylinders: Commercial vs. Industrial Use

LPG cylinders are commercial and not industrial. For industrial purposes, such as welding, brazing, or cutting, an acetylene cylinder should be used. However, before starting to use them, the establishment must obtain approval from:

1) Factory Inspector (Chief)
2) Fire Department
3) Pollution Department

Thank you for the reply. However, what are all the purposes for which we can use those blue cylinders that we find in our market, which are marked as industrial cylinders?
