Propane Tank Policies

The gas container, LP System or liquefied petroleum system is a collective term by OSHA which refers to the regulators, piping, hoses, regulators, fittings and valves. Depending on the tank capacity, the agency needs certain parts. These individual components need to undergo recognized laboratory testing. The right laboratory approval shows that the system components meet thickness, construction and pressure standards.



Tank Location

The organization OSHA determines how near the propane tank can be mounted in relation to buildings, to ignitable materials, to tanks which contain inflammable liquids, welders and cutting torches. These strict rules are in place to make the jobsite really safe for the employees and those others who are nearby.



Nameplate Marks

Liquefied Propane systems need to be marked with the name and the address of the container supplier, or tank brand name. The container capacity is listed in gallons or pounds, square foot outside surface, pressure and fill level. In addition, information about whether or not the container is designed for installation above ground or underground is also visible. These markings should be on a metal plate connected somewhere visible to the container. OSHA requires that each tank should be marked by the Pressure Vessel Inspectors and National Board of Boiler so as to be considered safe and ready to utilize.



Tank Repairs and Modifications

Any type of maintenance to LP systems which need welding are regulated by OSHA. Repair workers and tank owners have to know the standards and regulatory codes that the tanks were made. Welding repairs to any component of the system that is subject to internal pressure needs to first comply with these fabrication codes. Other welding is only permitted on brakctes, saddle plates or lugs.



The OSHA works hard to make sure that those who work with forklifts and in their vicinity are kept safe. They have stringent regulations and training procedures in place so as to make sure that these industrial equipment and their repair processes are handled as safe as possible and with respect. It is very essential that companies follow their rules and steep fines can occur if they are not followed.
