Major changes in the new 2001 NFPA 58 raise the standard for LP-Gas safety to a whole new level. Used widely throughout the world, the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code is the industry's most trusted source for safety requirements. And this latest edition contains new rules that provide greater protection against fires and explosions and make working around LP-Gas safer than ever. Introducing provisions that will make every LP-Gas installation more secure:

• New requirement that all large tank installations have remotely operated valves by 2011
• New Chapter 11 containing requirements for operating and maintenance procedures
• New requirement that all existing large installations must conduct a fire safety analysis within three years

To help you find facts fast, complex code text has been converted into tables. And text that dealt with multiple topics has been rearranged into more logical and targeted sections.
