I am looking to make a high pressure air/CO2 stream. I have a mixing system which generates a 120 psi stream, which I then want to compress to 1500 psi. We do this with CO2/N2 now without issue, I was concerned that the O2 at this pressure would require special equipment. Does any one know any relevant safety material?

Are you addressing the level of oxygen in air (implied by the thread title); or an oxygen application?

If oxygen, we can list several standards available on the web for free that you should review.
 
Oxygen in the air being compressed, about 15% v/v.
