Propane Tank Rules

The liquid petroleum or LP system style gas container is an OSHA term which refers to the piping, regulators, hoses, regulators, valves and fittings. The agency needs particular parts depending upon the capacity of the tank. These individual parts must undergo standard laboratory testing. The correct laboratory approval will prove that the system components meet pressure, thickness and construction standards.



Tank Location

The OSHA is the organization who dictates how near the propane tank is located to buildings, to ignitable materials, to tanks which contain flammable liquids, welders and cutting torches. These stringent rules are implemented to make the jobsite as safe as possible for the workers and those others who are nearby.



Nameplate Marks

Liquefied Propane systems need to be marked with the address and the name of the supplier of the container, or tank brand name. The capacity of the container is listed in pounds or gallons, square foot outside surface, pressure and fill level. Moreover, details about whether or not the container is made for installation above ground or underground is also visible. These markings should be on a metal plate connected somewhere visible to the container. OSHA requires that each and every tank should be marked by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors in order to be considered safe and ready to use.



Tank Repairs and Modifications

Any maintenance to LP systems which need welding are regulated by OSHA. Repair personnel and tank owners need to be familiar with standards and regulatory codes that the tanks were manufactured. Welding repairs to any part of the system which is subject to internal pressure should first comply with these fabrication codes. Other welding is only permitted on brakctes, saddle plates or lugs.



OSHA has worked hard to make certain that people working with lift trucks and individuals working in the vicinity of forklifts are kept as safe as possible. They have stringent training procedures and rules in place in order to make sure that these industrial machinery and their repair processes are handled with respect and as safe as possible. It is vital that businesses follow their rules and steep fines can occur if they are not adhered to.
