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 referred to as distilling.

Considerations
LPG fuel can be very safe but it must be handled carefully to avoid fire and explosions that can happen with incorrect maintenance or installation of gas lines. Liquid petroleum gas domestic appliances need correct maintenance and installation to avoid mishaps.

Prevention
Accident-prevention training is vital for anyone working directly with LPG. Proper refueling ways and methods to check for leaks should be included in training. Training must also include knowing how to wear personal protective gear and being alert to dangers like loose fittings or damaged hoses.

Emergency Preparation
Liquid petroleum gas can be a volatile fuel, so workers must know emergency measures in the event of explosions and fires. Training should involve gas leak control, first aid and evacuation.

Fuel Storage
Storage of tanks - whether a large refueling tank or a small fuel canister - must be at a secure site a safe distance from any building. "No Smoking" warnings should be posted. To make sure that tanks are just accessed by authorized personnel, the tanks must be locked in a secure enclosure which is designed to be protected from vehicle impact. Concrete bumpers or other retaining systems are recommended. The fueling station must have an accessible fire extinguisher. Only those trained to use the fueling station should be permitted to do so. Personnel also should be trained to utilize the fire extinguisher.

Operator Training
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration states that anybody utilizing a lift truck must undertake a training course consisting of both in-class and hands-on, practical training. Trainees will be tested to ensure they understand the safety issues involved in using a lift truck.
