Safety
Propane has a long-standing history of safety and is highly regulated.
The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) has set standards for propane use and storage. Propane is naturally odorless, colorless, and non-toxic—although a scent is added so you can detect if a leak has occurred.
What to do if you smell propane
- Do not turn any devices ON or OFF (including light switches, phones, computers, flashlights, or appliances).
- Immediately instruct everyone to leave the home or building.
- Do not try to find the source of the leak.
- Use a phone outside of the building area and notify DOC ASAP at 1-800-794-4362.
- If propane is detected outside, move upwind from the detection location.
Safety tips
- Propane appliances should have proper air circulation at all times.
- The flame should burn blue. A yellow or orange flame may indicate poor venting or combustion.
- Keep flammable or combustible materials away from propane appliances and storage tanks.
- Use propane appliances only for their original designed use.
- Never use cooking stoves for heating.
- Always maintain a fire extinguisher in your home.
- If you have any questions about propane safety or the use/installation of propane, call DOC at 1-800-794-4362.
