Propane, Butane and Propylene

Propane, butane and propylene are the most common liquefied natural gases (LPGs), and are extremely hazardous. Due to the high flammability of these gases they easily ignite and burn. It is important an active safety training program is in place for workers who engage with LPGs. This online safety training on working with hazardous liquefied natural gases is an attention-grabbing approach to kick-start training.

This video combines footage of actual events with realistic training sequences to provide industry, emergency responders and public officials with a working knowledge of the hazards of liquid petroleum gases. The program explains regulatory compliance requirements of OSHA, DOT, and EPA; as well as health and safety issues. Basic techniques for safe storage and handling are discussed, as well as procedures for emergency action in the event of an uncontrolled release or fire.

Training completion results in workers who are well informed about LPG risks and emergency response which contributes to the safety of any work environment.
