The focus of this project was the transportation of personal oxygen bottles. Our goal was to assess the risks involved and determine ways to reduce these risks. We researched medical oxygen, reviewed current standards, distributed a confidential questionnaire, and used risk assessment to analyze the risks involved with transporting personal oxygen bottles. Through this analysis we established recommendations for regulations to decrease these risks.
