  • Description:
    "he NIOSH Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program (FFFIPP) recommends that fire departments ensure all firefighters responding to natural gas or propane incidents: use gas detection equipment and do not rely upon their sense of smell to determine if propane or natural gas is present; understand that the odorant in natural gas or propane can fade; are trained on the proper calibration, maintenance, and use of gas detection equipment to determine if a potential explosive atmosphere is present; recognize that the lack of odor can result from the natural gas or propane contacting soil, concrete, and a wide variety of building materials such as drywall, wood, and new piping storage tanks." - NIOSHTIC-2
