What is a containment system?

A containment system is specifically designed to prevent the escape of gases into the environment, ensuring safety and compliance with regulations. This system creates a gas-tight structure that effectively manages the potential release of hazardous gases, particularly in settings where non-flammable medical gases are present. By controlling any gas escape, the containment system minimizes risks associated with leaks, thus protecting both personnel and facilities.

The other options relate to different concepts. Monitoring air quality pertains to assessing the presence of pollutants in the air but does not focus on containment. A storage container for solid materials does not apply to gases and does not involve the same safety considerations. An assembly for transporting compressed liquids, while it deals with storage and transfer, does not inherently address the need to control gas escape in a medical environment.
