I once had the responsibility for the safety of an aerosol filling plant.
We had 400 tonnes of hydrocarbon gas on site, in the middle of a residential area in Sydney.
You would not believe the number of gas tanker delivery drivers I banned ( for life ) for basic safety breaches. I don't think they knew what a copper hammer was.
With hydrocarbon gas, there is an old adage -"one flash, and you're ash "
