Basic Training Information for LPG
Liquefied petroleum gas is a colorless propane fuel. Also referred to as LPG, this fuel is odorless and is derived from natural gas. LPG consists of 90 percent propane. It is extracted in a process called distilling.

Considerations
Liquid petroleum gas gas must be handled with care to prevent potential explosions and fires which occur with the incorrect maintenance or installation of gas lines. Liquid petroleum gas domestic appliances require correct installation and maintenance in order to avoid accidents.

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

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

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 should be posted. To make certain that tanks are only accessed by authorized employees, the tanks should be locked in a secure 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 people trained to use the fueling station should be permitted to do so. Employees also must be trained to use the fire extinguisher.

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