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
Event Hire for advice.
GAS SAFETY
Read the "LPG Safe Use & Set Up" instructions.
Propane is highly flammable 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 the open air, in a secure, cool area; away from heat,
possible ignition source and clear of drains or depressions where
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 (the use of a proprietary
leak detector is recommended).
NEVER test for leaks with a naked flame.

them to extinguish or turn off everything that may ignite the gas.
DO NOT OPERATE ELECTRICAL SWITCHES, THEY MAY
GENERATE SPARKS.
If safe to do so, open any doors or windows, close cylinder valves
and take cylinders into the open. If a large amount of gas has
escaped, evacuate the area and call the Fire Brigade, informing
them that gas cylinders are involved and how many there are.
