Basic Training Information for LPG
Liquid petroleum gas or LPG is a colourless and odourless fuel derived from natural gas. LPG consists of 90% propane. It is extracted in a method known as distilling.
Considerations
LPG gas must be handled with care to avoid possible fires and explosions which happen with the improper maintenance or installation of gas lines. LPG domestic appliances need proper maintenance and installation to avoid accidents.
Prevention
For anybody working directly with liquid petroleum gas, accident prevention training is critical. Included in training should be proper ways for refueling and ways for checking for leaks. Training must also include knowing how to wear personal protective gear and being alert to hazards such as damaged hoses or loose fittings.
Emergency Preparation
LPG could be a volatile fuel, so workers should be familiar with emergency procedures in the event of fires and explosions. Training should include gas leak control, first aid and evacuation.
Fuel Storage
When storing tanks from the large refueling tank or a small fuel canister, one should secure a safe location away from buildings. Warnings of no smoking must be posted. To make certain that tanks are just accessed by authorized employees, the tanks should be locked in a secure enclosure that 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. Only people trained to operate the fueling station must be allowed to do so. Personnel also must be trained to utilize the fire extinguisher.
Operator Training
OSHA and HRSDC require that operators undergo training consisting of hands-on, practical, and in-class training. Trainees would be tested to ensure they understand the safety issues involved in forklift operation.
