Liquid oxygen home care containers shall be restrained while in storage or use to prevent falling caused by contact, vibration or seismic activity. Containers shall be restrained by one of the following methods:
  1. Restraining containers to a fixed object with one or more restraints.
  2. Restraining containers within a framework, stand or assembly designed to secure the container.
  3. Restraining containers by locating a container against two points of contact such as the walls of a corner of a room or a wall and a secure furnishing or object such as a desk.
