Propane gas is really cold. Very cold in fact that contact to your skin could cause severe burns to occur. Whenever you are re-fueling or exchanging the propane tank, be sure to put on goggles or a full face shield and thick gloves. Personal Protective Equipment or PPE is a requirement to be used on location in order to keep the driver as safe as possible. PPE or Personal Protective Equipment is a standard workplace requirement for most businesses utilizing this type of machinery and if the driver does not have the correct things on, like for instance safety goggles, steel-toe boots, a hardhat and so on than he or she might be banned from utilizing the equipment.
