LPG or liquefied petroleum gas is a odorless and colorless fuel derived from natural gas. LPG contains 90% propane. It is extracted in a method known as distilling.
Considerations
Liquid petroleum gas gas must be handled with care to avoid possible explosions and fires which occur with the incorrect installation or maintenance of gas lines. Liquid petroleum gas domestic appliances require correct installation and maintenance to avoid mishaps.
Prevention
For anybody working directly with liquid petroleum gas, accident prevention training is important. Included in training should be correct methods for refueling and methods for checking for leaks. Training should also include knowing how to wear personal protective gear and being alert to hazards like for instance loose fittings or damaged hoses.
Emergency Preparation
Liquid petroleum gas is a dangerous fuel and anyone working with it should be knowledgeable regarding emergency measures to follow in the event of explosion or fire. Training must include gas leak control, first aid and evacuation.
Fuel Storage
When storing tanks from the large refueling tank or a small fuel canister, one must secure a safe site away from buildings. Warnings of no smoking should be posted. To make sure that tanks are only accessed by authorized employees, the tanks should be locked in a secure enclosure which is designed to be protected from vehicle impact. Concrete bumpers or other retaining systems are great. The fueling station should have an accessible fire extinguisher. Just individuals trained to utilize the fueling station must be allowed to do so. Personnel also must be trained to use the fire extinguisher.
Operator Training
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration states that anyone utilizing a forklift should undergo a training course consisting of both in-class and hands-on, practical training. Trainees would be tested to make sure that they understand the safety problems involved in using a forklift.
