What is the legal minimum distance between the point of transfer of LP Gas and an outdoor public assembly area?

The legal minimum distance between the point of transfer of LP Gas and an outdoor public assembly area is established to ensure the safety of individuals gathered in such areas. A distance of 50 feet provides a critical buffer zone that helps mitigate risks associated with the handling of LP Gas, including the potential for accidents or leaks. This regulation aims to protect the public from hazards that could arise during the transfer process.

This minimum distance is derived from safety standards and practices that recognize the flammability of LP Gas and the potential consequences of an incident in a populated area. The specified distance is considered sufficient to limit exposure and provide a safer environment for public gatherings, reducing the risk of serious incidents while still allowing for necessary operations related to the distribution and transfer of LP Gas.
