What is the purpose of the LPG Storage and Handling Code?

The purpose of the LPG Storage and Handling Code is to establish safety practices and guidelines for the handling and storage of liquefied petroleum gas (LP-Gas). This code is essential because LP-Gas can pose significant health and safety risks if not managed properly. By providing a comprehensive framework for safe practices, it aims to minimize risks related to accidents, leaks, and explosive incidents during the storage and dispensing of LP-Gas.

This code outlines best practices, including proper equipment use, maintenance standards, emergency procedures, and training requirements for personnel involved in LP-Gas operations. Adhering to these guidelines is crucial to ensure the safety of workers, the public, and the environment.
