SAFETY ALERTS
The following safety alert from WorkCover relates to MSDS for LPG and is directed at manufacturers, distributors and suppliers. I have included it here because it may also be of value to end users, forklift operators in particular. We have come across many LPG powered forklifts with old, brittle and cracked gas hoses which could pose a danger when operated in a confined space.
