Where is LPG prohibited from being used?

LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is prohibited from being used in underground or below-grade locations primarily due to safety concerns. These areas pose significant risks as they can trap flammable gases and vapors, leading to dangerous accumulations that can ignite unexpectedly. Ventilation is critical in handling LPG, as it allows for the dispersion of any potential leaks, reducing the risk of explosions and fire hazards.

Locations that are partially or completely enclosed, like underground spaces, restrict airflow and create an environment where LPG can accumulate without proper dispersion. Therefore, the regulations are clear in prohibiting the use of LPG in these elevated risk environments to ensure safety for personnel and facilities. Understanding these safety protocols is essential when working with LPG to prevent hazardous situations.
