Description

A highly flammable LPG sign warns that liquefied petroleum gas is stored or carried at that place, so that nobody brings a flame, a cigarette or a spark near it. The sign is a red square set on its corner (a diamond) with a black flame symbol above the words HIGHLY FLAMMABLE LPG — the same red-diamond-and-flame style used worldwide to label flammable gases.

Where is this sign used?

  • LPG cylinder stores and dealers' godowns
  • Cylinder banks and manifolds of restaurants, hotels, canteens and apartment buildings
  • Factory kitchens and industrial LPG installations
  • Auto-gas (LPG) filling stations and cylinder filling points
  • Trucks and pickups carrying LPG cylinders

Why LPG needs its own warning

LPG is heavier than air. When it leaks it does not rise and disperse: it flows along the floor and collects in drains, basements and low corners, where a switch spark or a cigarette can ignite it. People near a cylinder store need to know this before they light anything or use a phone or a power tool — which is what the sign is for.

Which version should you choose?

Version Use
Vinyl sticker Cylinder cages, metal doors, cabinets and vehicles with a smooth, clean surface
Aluminium plate Outdoor walls, gates and fences of cylinder stores

How should it be displayed?

  1. Fix a sign on every door or gate of the cylinder store or gas bank, and on each open side of a fenced cage.
  2. Put it at eye level where it is seen from the approach, not hidden behind the cylinders.
  3. Display it together with a no smoking / no open flame sign and keep a dry powder fire extinguisher close by.
  4. For vehicles, follow the marking rules that apply to the carriage of gas cylinders.

Replace the sign when the red has faded — a pale pink diamond no longer reads as a warning.

Applications

  • LPG cylinder stores and dealers' godowns
  • Restaurant, hotel and canteen gas banks
  • Apartment building cylinder rooms and manifolds
  • Industrial LPG installations and factory kitchens
  • LPG auto-gas filling stations
  • Cylinder delivery trucks and pickups

Recommended usage

Fix the sign at eye level on every door, gate and open side of an LPG cylinder store or gas bank, where it is seen from the approach. Use the sticker on smooth metal surfaces and vehicles and the aluminium plate on outdoor walls and fences. Display it together with a no smoking sign.

Safety instructions

The sign is only one part of LPG safety: store cylinders upright in a well-ventilated place away from drains, basements, heat and electrical switches, and keep ignition sources away. If you smell gas, do not operate any switch or flame — close the cylinder valves if it is safe, ventilate the area and call the supplier or the Fire Service.

Frequently asked questions

What does a red diamond sign with a flame mean?

A red diamond with a flame symbol means that the substance is flammable — it catches fire easily. On this sign the wording identifies the substance as LPG, a highly flammable gas, so all flames, sparks and smoking must be kept away.

Where should I put an LPG warning sign in a restaurant?

Put it on the door or cage of the place where the LPG cylinders are kept, facing the approach, at eye level. If the cylinders are in an outdoor cage, fix a sign on each open side, together with a no smoking sign.

Why is LPG more dangerous in basements and low places?

LPG vapour is heavier than air, so leaked gas sinks and collects in basements, drains and pits instead of escaping upwards. The trapped gas can be ignited by a small spark, which is why cylinders should not be stored below ground level.

Can this LPG sticker be used outdoors?

Yes, the vinyl sticker can be used outdoors on a clean, smooth, dry surface, but strong sun fades the red over time. For a permanent outdoor position on a wall, gate or fence the aluminium plate is the more durable choice.
