LPG Cylinders Banned in Commercial Kitchens

Safework NSW has issued an update not to store or use portable LPG gas cylinders inside commercial kitchens, however, it is recommended this be adopted by all workplaces nationally.

Using LPG gas appliances designed for ‘outdoor use only’, indoors is both illegal and dangerous. The storage and use of portable gas cylinders which are located inside commercial kitchens can result in fire and explosion due to the unintended escape of LPG from gas cylinder valves, cylinder connections, regulators and flexible hoses.

In recent times SafeWork NSW has responded to several serious incidents at the workplace involving gas, which ignited and led to serious burn injuries. Whilst SafeWork NSW has focused its compliance programs on the inappropriate use of gas appliances connected to portable LPG cylinders indoors the latest incidents relate to work being carried out on fixed gas installations by unlicensed persons.

What can employers do to reduce risks?

Ensure any LPG appliances in commercial kitchens are not connected to a portable gas cylinder in the kitchen.

Remove any portable gas cylinders from inside commercial kitchens.

Check that any portable gas cylinders used to supply appliances are located on the outside of the building and that permanent piping is installed to connect to appliances inside.

Ensure all gas appliances, gas supply pipework and gas cylinder location for commercial kitchens are installed and maintained by a licensed gas fitter.

Only buy or use Australian certified gas appliances that are marked with an Australian recognised certification label.

Use LPG appliances only for their approved application.

Only use appliances with the correct gas. Never use LPG with natural gas appliances or vice versa.

Never use an outdoor appliance indoors.

Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Is your work phone making you sick? Smartphone Health and Safety tips from the experts

A press release published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) about the potential dangers of cell phone use has been making headlines around the world. The report found a strong link between mobile phone use and cancer.

In follow up to the IARC press release; the World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a fact sheet on the health effects of cell phones. This fact sheet states: "A large number of studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use". The IARC classified cell phones in Category 2B, which is "possibly carcinogenic to humans". 

All employers and business owners providing staff with work mobile phones are responsible for educating staff in the safe use of provided work tools, whether it be a jackhammer or a mobile phone. 

We’ve put together some practical safety tips to help you train your staff to stay safe and healthy when using their work smartphones:

Never text while driving because it is illegal and very dangerous

When possible use handsfree, especially while driving

If youre worried about radiation, use a handsfree or text messaging to reduce electromagnetic energy (EME) exposure to the head

Always purchase approved mobile handsets and accessories - knock-offs may be cheaper but they use inferior materials and are not tested for safety

Use your mobile in good coverage areas

Pedestrians using mobiles should remain alert to traffic and other obstacles

Turn off chargers at the powerpoint when not in use

Ignore cyberbullies and do not respond to bullying messages, where possible block them

In an emergency call Triple Zero (000) and provide your location information to the operator. As long as you are within coverage of a mobile network you will be able to call Triple Zero (000), even without credit or a SIM card. 

If you have a smartphone with GPS capability, you can download the Emergency + App (developed by NSW Fire and Rescue) for free from iTunes or the Google Play store - this app uses your smartphone's GPS capabilities to provide you with your location information which you can give to the Triple Zero operator if needed. It also provides advice about when to call Triple Zero or alternative numbers such as the SES or Police Assistance Line.

The WHO fact sheet can be accessed here 

If your business employs professional drivers, such as truck drivers or bus drivers, weve attached the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association Fact Sheet developed here
