Cylinders of boron trifluoride must be secured against dropping, falling and rupture. Storage areas must be free of excess moisture, and to minimize corrosion, the cylinders must not be stored on damp ground. No boron trifluoride storage area may contain explosives or flammable materials. Laboratories are advised to store boron trifluoride cylinders in exhaust hoods and to maintain design airflows.
