LPG Fuel Safety Alert
If you have LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) powered forklift trucks in your operations, then you need to be aware that there is a currently ongoing safety concern with the fuel in the UK.
The HSE are currently investigating the problems, which seem to occur when starting the trucks and may be linked to contaminated fuel entering the UK.
The UK Material Handling Association has recently updated its Safety Alert addressing these concerns. For more information about the problem please visit https://ukmha.org.uk/ukmha-releases-lpg-safety-alert/
Please note this is an ongoing situation and therefore it continues to pose a risk to all LPG fueled trucks, irrespective of manufacturer. If you have any problems starting an LPG truck, then download the safety advice brochure for the best course of action, for your operators and engineers.
