I’m not an expert on LP Gas, and even many Plumbers can’t tell you the Rules. Most of this is common sense, but when you turn your back a problem can quickly ‘blow up’.

Here are the basics:

• there are increased clearance Rules for permanent tanks
• remember the ‘Open on 3 sides’ Rule for tanks under buildings or on verandahs
• protect tanks from physical damage especially really robust bollards close to unloading docks
• recesses / enclosures need ventilation
• a 10kg bottle is permitted inside Class 1 buildings – but prohibited for a heater use.
• always think about leakage & vapour risk

Everyone needs to know this stuff …… and share it with your Team before the “gas hits the fan”!
