In workplaces that fall under the general industry standard 29 CFR, Part 1910, a welding/cutting unit, with an oxygen cylinder and an acetylene cylinder that are "in use" or "connected for use" with a properly functioning regulator can remain on an appropriate welding cart regardless of when gas will next be withdrawn from the unit. An oxygen and acetylene cylinder that are in use or are connected for use will not be considered to be in "storage" for purposes of the 1910.253 storage requirements.
