This leaflet covers the main health and safety risks associated with work on vehicles fuelled by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and the precautions that should be taken. It's aimed at employers, self-employed people, supervisors and others likely to carry out any work which may affect LPG systems. It includes a helpful list of dos and don'ts for employees.

The revised version brings the advice up to date - it has also been rewritten and redesigned to make the guidance easier to understand.
