I have been swamped with calls for my propane cylinder compliance booklet I have put together over the years. On a forum in Keller’s on-line site, I answered questions and one of the more popular one was regarding storing these cylinders.

As you know, process safety is built upon the fundamental concepts of prevention, threat, and mitigation. Hence, we want to prevent the scenario from even starting, but if we can’t, then we want to protect our assets (including people), and then we want to...

After some good debate in a LinkedIn forum, I came to the conclusion that this practice should not be called an “industry practice” as there were a lot of people in the industry that did not do it and had never heard of it.
