- Never allow electric arc welding tools to come near cylinders.

- Do not allow welding sparks and slag to make contact with cylinders.

USE OF LPG

The use of the LPG gas, once delivered for use in its gaseous as opposed to liquid form will need to be risk assessed but on the assumption that the delivery mains are to LPG ITA Standards the topic is best risk assessed according to the item of plant that the gaseous LPG is serving. This could be anything from profile cutting machines through to hot mill furnaces or simply space heating.

As with most fixed services it is probably the maintenance element where there will be greatest risk.
