SINGAPORE - Small-bore pipelines used by a company to fill liquefied petroleum gas cylinders had been modified some years ago so more cylinders could be filled at once, and were not protected from impact.
It involved hundreds of highly flammable LPG cylinders at the bottling and storage facility occupied by Summit Gas Systems. Singapore aims to reduce its workplace fatality rate to less than one death per 100,000 workers before 2028, a target set by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in 2017.The learning report, which was published by the Commissioner for Workplace Safety and Health, made several recommendations for workplaces that store and handle flammable substances like LPG:- Have a master shutdown button to stop the entire gas filling operation if needed.
- Maintain a safe distance between LPG cylinder storage areas and other parts of the workplace to minimise the spread of a fire.
