Why is it important to keep flammable materials away from LP-Gas storage?

Keeping flammable materials away from LP-Gas storage is crucial to reduce the risk of fire and explosion hazards. LP-Gas, which stands for liquefied petroleum gas, is highly flammable and can ignite easily if exposed to an open flame or spark. Proximity to flammable materials increases the likelihood of a fire igniting, which can lead to dangerous situations, including explosions and serious injuries.

Maintaining a safe distance prevents any potential ignition sources from coming into contact with LP-Gas, thereby ensuring the safety of the storage area and the surrounding environment. Implementing this safety measure helps to safeguard both personnel and property, as well as comply with safety regulations concerning hazardous materials storage.

The other options, while they may include considerations of safety or efficiency, do not address the primary concern of fire and explosion risk in the context of LP-Gas storage, which is why the focus on reducing hazards is paramount.
