Fire And Explosion Hazards:
Propane is easily
ignited. It is heavier than air, therefore, it may collect in low areas or travel along the ground where an ignition source may be present. Pressure
in a container can build up due to heat, and it may rupture if pressure relief devices should fail to function.
Storage:
Cylinders should be stored
upright with valve protection cap in place and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Protect cylinders from physical damage;
do not drag, roll, slide or drop. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement. Post "No Smoking or Open Flames" signs in the storage areas.
There should be no sources of ignition. All electrical equipment should be explosion proof in the storage and use areas. Storage areas must
meet national electric codes for class 1 hazardous areas.
Propane smells like rotten eggs, a skunk’s spray, or a dead animal. IF YOU SMELL GAS- NO FLAMES OR SPARKS! Immediately put out all
smoking materials and other open flames. Do not operate lights, appliances, telephones, or cell phones. - Flames or sparks from these
sources can trigger an explosion or a fire.
WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)?
You can’t taste or smell CO, but it is a very dangerous gas. High levels of CO can come from appliances that are not operating correctly, or from
a venting system or chimney that becomes blocked. CO CAN BE DEADLY! High levels of CO can make you dizzy or sick. In extreme cases,
CO can cause brain damage or death.
Symptoms of CO poisoning include: headache, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath,
and nausea.
IF YOU SUSPECT CO IS PRESENT, ACT IMMEDIATELY!
1. If you or a family member shows physical symptoms of CO poisoning, get everyone out of the building and call 911 or your local fire
department.
2. If it is safe to do so, open windows to allow entry of fresh air, and turn off any appliances you suspect may be releasing CO.
3. If no one has symptoms, but you suspect that CO is present, call your propane retailer or a qualified service technician to check CO levels
and your propane equipment.
