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.
