Basic Training Information for LPG
Liquefied petroleum gas is a colorless propane fuel. Also called LPG, this fuel is derived from natural gas and is odorless. LPG consists of 90% propane. It is extracted in a process known as distilling.
Considerations
Liquid petroleum gas fuel can be very safe but it must be handled carefully to prevent fire and explosions that may occur with incorrect installation or maintenance of gas lines. LPG domestic appliances need correct installation and maintenance to avoid mishaps.
Prevention
For anyone working directly with LPG, accident prevention training is vital. Included in training should be proper ways for refueling and ways for testing for leaks. Training must also comprise knowing how to wear personal protective gear and being alert to hazards like damaged hoses or loose fittings.
Emergency Preparation
Liquid petroleum gas is a dangerous fuel and anybody working with it must be knowledgeable about emergency procedures to follow in the event of fire or explosion. Training should include first aid, evacuation and gas leak control.
Fuel Storage
Storage of tanks - whether a large refueling tank or a small fuel canister - should be at a safe site a safe distance from any building. "No Smoking" warnings must be posted. To ensure tanks are just accessed by authorized employees, the tanks should be locked in a safe enclosure which is designed to be protected from vehicle impact. Concrete bumpers or other retaining systems are better. The fueling station should have an accessible fire extinguisher. Just those trained to use the fueling station should 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 undertake a training program consisting of both in-class and practical, hands-on training. Trainees will be tested to ensure they know the safety problems involved in forklift operation.
