CNG Workshop Precautions

Because natural gas is less dense than air, it rises. The shop ceiling needs to be equipped with a vent system that will allow the gas to escape and dissipate.

Use only safety fluorescent extension shop lights. Ordinary light bulbs can explode if dropped, possibly causing a fire.

The shop must be equipped with an alarm system that activates when gas concentration in the air becomes dangerous.

Fire extinguishers should be the CO ² type (ABC minimum) and should be strategically located, highly visible, and easily accessed.

Permit no smoking or other ignition sources in the shop area.
