Forklift Tank Safety
One of the most common types of lift trucks on the market is a propane-powered unit. The propane is used to fuel these machines and it has several properties which have to be considered when working with the fuel tank. It is extremely vital that Personal Protective Equipment or also called PPE is worn at all times to be safe.

PPE or Personal Protective Equipment
Propane gas is really cold. So cold in fact that contact to your skin can cause severe burns to happen. Whenever you are exchanging the propane tank or re-fueling, be certain to wear a full face shield or goggles and thick gloves. Personal Protective Equipment or PPE is a requirement to be used on location so as to keep the operator as safe as possible. Personal Protective Equipment or PPE is a standard workplace requirement for most companies utilizing this type of machine and if the driver does not have the right items on, like safety goggles, steel-toe boots, a hardhat et cetera than he or she might be forbidden from operating the equipment.

Inspect the Valve
Before connecting the fuel line in the process of exchanging the tank, make sure that the new tanks valve is turned off. This is extremely vital because when you are inserting the fuel line into an open valve, you would release the propane gas. This situation can result in a potentially hazardous situation.

Fire Extinguisher
Having a fire extinguisher available when re-fueling is occurring or during the time the tank is being changed out is one more important safety procedure to have implemented. Nearly all businesses have fire extinguishers located next to the refueling station. It is better to have one nearby and not require it, than to require one and not have one handy. Most safety regulations require this is set up on site too.

Secure the Tank
Most propane tanks are strapped firmly into place by some type of strap or restraining device. Be sure that this device is correctly working and properly used so that you could prevent the tank from falling or shifting, as this could also lead to a dangerous situation.
