Welding suppliers now charge haz mat fees on nearly everything,
including oxygen. (I wonder if hospitals get charged hazmat on oxy?)

I bet they do. An oxygen-fed fire is pretty fierce.

Not only a chemical/fire hazzard. A full tank [any compressed
gas even argon/helium] that is knocked over so that
valve/regulator breaks off becomes an unguided missle. Will go
through cinder block and drywall/stud walls with no problem. I
can see the headlines now after one of these go through a day
school.

Hospitals typically pipe oxygen at low pressure to the wards from a
central source, and most often take delivery in the form of liquid
oxygen, because it's cheaper that way.

Why would a day [care?] school have bottles of compressed gas?
