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 process known as distilling.

Considerations
Liquid petroleum gas fuel could be very safe but it should be carefully handled to prevent fire and explosions that could occur with improper maintenance or installation of gas lines. Liquid petroleum gas domestic appliances require proper installation and maintenance to prevent mishaps.

Prevention
For anyone working directly with LPG, accident prevention training is important. Included in training should be proper methods for refueling and methods for checking for leaks. Training should also consist of knowing how to wear personal protective gear and being alert to dangers such as damaged hoses or loose fittings.

Emergency Preparation
Liquid petroleum gas is a hazardous fuel and anybody working with it should be knowledgeable about emergency measures to follow in the event of fire or explosion. Training should involve first aid, evacuation and gas leak control.

Fuel Storage
When storing tanks from a small fuel canister to the large refueling tank, one should secure a safe location away from buildings. Warnings of no smoking must be posted. To ensure tanks are only accessed by authorized personnel, 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 great. The fueling station should have an accessible fire extinguisher. Only individuals trained to use the fueling station must be permitted to do so. Personnel also must be trained to utilize the fire extinguisher.

Operator Training
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration states that anyone utilizing a forklift must undergo a training program consisting of both in-class and hands-on, practical training. Trainees would be tested to ensure they understand the safety issues involved in utilizing a forklift.
