The correct answer is: Compressed gases and cryogenic fluids

NFPA 55 specifically addresses the safe handling and storage of compressed gases and cryogenic fluids. This standard outlines the requirements necessary to ensure the safety of facilities that utilize these materials, which can pose significant hazards if not managed properly. It includes guidelines on proper storage practices, use of equipment, and necessary precautions to mitigate risks associated with high pressures and extreme temperatures. The focus on compressed gases and cryogenic fluids is essential in various industries, including healthcare, where these materials may be used for medical purposes, such as in anesthesia or laboratory settings. Comprehending and adhering to NFPA 55 helps prevent incidents like leaks, explosions, or other dangerous situations that could arise from improperly handled gases or fluids.
