COSHH Assessment — Liquefied Propane Gas (LPG / Propane C3H8)
This pre-completed COSHH assessment covers liquefied propane gas (LPG) — stored under pressure as a liquid and used as a fuel for heating, cooking, industrial processes and portable equipment across many sectors.
What Does This COSHH Assessment Cover?
The assessment is fully completed and ready to use, covering all sections required for a complete hazardous substance risk assessment:
- Substance identification — trade name, chemical name (propane C3H8 / LPG), SDS reference and physical state
- Health effects and first aid — inhalation, ingestion, skin contact and eye contact, with specific first aid for each route
- Asphyxiation and BLEVE hazard — propane displaces oxygen in enclosed spaces; pressurised cylinders can cause a boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion (BLEVE) if exposed to fire
- Workplace exposure limits — propane TWA 1000 ppm and STEL 1250 ppm, from workplace exposure limits guidance
- CLP hazard classification — Flammable and Pressurised gas pictograms
- PPE requirements — including insulated gloves (cryogenic risk from liquid), eye protection and no ignition sources
- Emergency procedures — gas leak response and fire/cylinder emergency procedures
