Abstract
Basic facts on storage, usage and properties of LPG are summarized in this report. Swedish regulations pertaining to LPG-installations are briefly discussed. The basic design and main components of an industrial LPG-installation are described as well as suitable action in case of leakage or fire. Most accidents in LPG-installations are caused by defective equipment or human mistakes. An increased use of LPG in large scale installations calls for systematic reporting, analysis and feed-back of near-accidents in LPG installations. The goal of this is to improve safety and technology. A prerequisite is that events which can provide important information are reported. To ensure this it is believed that the legislation pertaining to LPG installations should require reporting of accidents and near-accidents as is the case for natural gas installations. Appropriate forms and instructions are needed to ensure that all important information is included in a report. The best results will probably be achieved if one organization gather, analyze and present information on reported events. The reliability engineering event tree technique is described and demonstrated as a method which can be used to analyze function and reliability of technicl systems like LPG-installations. Two failures or near-accidents in LPG fueled boiler installations are
