Safe Temporary Propane Heat
Many construction sites use temporary heating to allow work to continue through Alberta’s cold winters. A common type of temporary heating system uses propane to fuel heaters.
Propane is a widely-used fuel, and it is a safe fuel as long as it is handled properly. However, over the years, some of the Safety Codes Council’s partners and stakeholders have noticed that temporary propane heating systems in residential construction sites sometimes do not meet safety requirements.
