GENERAL INFORMATION
Shop Safety
Safety in the workplace is everyone’s responsibility.
Regardless of the type of work you do it is very
important that you pay attention to what you are
doing for your safety and the safety of those around
you. The following points are things to keep in mind
when working on internal combustion engines and
gaseous fuel systems.
●
Study the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA)
standard for the fuel in use, before working on any
fuel system.
●
Proper personal protection is required before
working on any fuel system.
●
Check for fuel leaks before working on any
vehicle.
●
The fuel storage container must not be filled past
the 80% liquid level before working on a vehicle
powered by LPG.
●
Before working on any fuel system make sure
there are no sources of ignition nearby (sources
of ignition are not only open flames but include
electrical switches such as air compressor relays
and other shop equipment such as bench
grinders).
●
Adequate ventilation is required before working on
any fuel system and before starting any internal
combustion engine.
●
Disconnect the battery before working on any fuel
system (perform leak test first).
●
Remember LPG is heavier than air and will sink to
the lowest spot possible. Avoid areas near floor
drains or lubrication pits where escaped fuel may
collect.
∆ Prior to working on any engine system remove
the ignition key or otherwise disable the starting
circuit to prevent someone from attempting to
start the engine while you may be in close
proximity to rotating or other moving parts.
∆ Always perform a leak test on the entire fuel
system prior to attempting any type of service
work.
∆ Always use proper personnel protection as
outlined by OSHA and/or other state or federal
agency.
∆ Always familiarize yourself with the National Fire
Protection Agency (NFPA) standard for the fuel
in use.
