Employees using compressed air will receive proper training provided in TAG during Orientation. Employees will be required to wear their personal protective equipment (glasses) to prevent dust or any particles from entering their eyes and ear protection to protect against high noise level. No employees will be allowed to use compressed air to blow dust off their skin. Any horseplay or not following safe use of compressed air or the procedure, will be reported by Department Managers and disciplinary action will be initiated by P&C. 9.14 Propane gas Propane is also referred to as liquefied petroleum gas, often shortened to "LP gas" or "LPG". It's an alternative fuel that's a by-product of natural gas. In its natural state, Propane is colorless, tasteless and odorless. Mercaptan is added to it to aid in leak detection through sense of smell, the smell is similar to boiled cabbage or rotten egg. Propane liquid expands to 270 times its own volume. The extreme freezing effect of vaporizing propane liquid can cause serious frostbite burns, which, if, severe enough can result in the need for amputation of the affected body part. Propane gas must be handle with great precautions because to its high risk of fire, explosion, severe frostbite or asphyxiation which can lead to death. EGNW uses propane gas to fuel forklifts and generators. Employees handling propane gas will be required to use PPE when handling cylinders. Propane cylinders will be stored outdoor in a propane storage area or in an approved cylinder storage room where there is no possible sources of ignition within a 10 feet or 3 meter radius. Storage outside of buildings, for containers awaiting use will be in accordance with Table H-33: 9.12.1 Refer to compressed air procedure.
