GAWDA and the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) maintain a partnership which allows GAWDA Distributor and Canadian Distributor Members to gain free access to CGA’s electronic safety publication library. Under the publication subscription program, CGA provides free access to all electronic publications to one person per location from each eligible GAWDA distributor member company. CGA also provides discounted prices on hardcopy publications, the CGA Handbook of Compressed Gases, and safety videos.

The program also established the CGA & GAWDA Distributor Safety Award to promote safety awareness and recognize participating companies that show the greatest improvement in safety performance over a five-year period.
