What must each LP-Gas facility be provided with for fire safety?

For fire safety at LP-Gas facilities, providing portable fire extinguishers is essential. These extinguishers are critical because they allow for immediate response to small fires, potentially preventing them from escalating into larger, uncontrollable blazes. Portable fire extinguishers can be strategically placed throughout the facility, ensuring that personnel can quickly access them in an emergency.

It’s important to note that while other options, such as fire alarms, emergency exits, and fire blankets, play significant roles in a comprehensive fire safety plan, they do not provide the same immediate, hands-on capability for controlling a fire that portable extinguishers do. Fire alarms alert occupants to the presence of fire but do not contain it, emergency exits facilitate safe egress from the facility, and fire blankets can assist in certain situations, but they may not be as effective for large fires or in industrial settings where LP-gas is involved. Hence, the requirement for portable fire extinguishers is a primary safety measure for controlling potential fire hazards specific to LP-Gas operations.
