What type of facility must be taken out of service following certain LP-Gas incidents?

An operating facility must be taken out of service following certain LP-Gas incidents due to its function in actively processing, handling, or distributing LP-Gas. When incidents occur—such as leaks or other safety-related events—immediate action is necessary to mitigate risks to public safety and the environment.

Considering the operational nature of such facilities, the risks involved can have broader implications if not contained effectively. Therefore, shutting down operations is crucial to ensure that safety protocols are adhered to and that a thorough investigation can take place. This safeguard helps prevent any potential hazards from escalating further.

Other facility types, like residential or recreational facilities, may face different regulatory responses based on the nature of the incident but do not operate with the same volume or risk factors associated with an active operating facility. Storage facilities may also have distinct protocols for incidents, focusing on containment and safety but reflecting different responsibilities than those of an operating facility.
