HEALTH & SAFETY REGULATIONS
The use and storage of LPG cylinders is governed
by specific regulations/legislation. Make sure
you know and understand the regulations that
apply and follow them. If in any doubt, contact
an Event Furniture representative for advice.
GAS SAFETY
Propane is highly inflammable and heavier
than air, this increases the risk of explosion.
Keep gas cylinders upright at all times, do not
drop or knock them. Damaged cylinders can
be dangerous.
Store gas cylinders in a secure, cool area;
away from heat, possible ignition source and
clear of drains or depressions where any
leaked gas may collect.
Do not smoke or permit naked flames in the
area when changing gas cylinders.
Handle gas cylinders and connectors with
care. Carefully check the connections for
leaks (use washing up liquid and look for
bubbles).
NEVER test for leaks with a naked flame.
