Basic Training Information for LPG
Liquid petroleum gas or LPG is a odorless and colorless fuel derived from natural gas. LPG contains 90% propane. It is extracted in a process called distilling.

Considerations
LPG gas should be handled with care to prevent potential fires and explosions which occur with the incorrect installation or maintenance of gas lines. Liquid petroleum gas domestic appliances need proper maintenance and installation to prevent mishaps.

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

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

Fuel Storage
Storage of tanks - whether a small fuel canister or a large refueling tank - should be at a safe place a safe distance from any building. "No Smoking" warnings must be posted. To make certain that tanks are just accessed by authorized personnel, the tanks need to be locked in a safe enclosure that 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. Only individuals trained to operate the fueling station should be allowed to do so. Employees also should be trained to utilize the fire extinguisher.

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