#11 Propane Guidelines
Propane Guidelines – Fact Sheet

As many members of the industry are aware, the BC Film Industry experienced two serious issues with propane and propane fired heaters in the fall of 2010. Workers experienced near misses and serious injuries as a result of these incidents.

What many industry workers may not know is that in 1999, a Vancouver film industry worker died at the age of 39, of carbon monoxide poisoning, leaving behind a wife and two small children. His death was related to the use of a propane-fired heater.

This fact sheet has been prepared to alert industry members to the hazards associated with the use of propane and propane-fired heaters, and to outline safe work practices.
