| that usually it calls as propane heaters. Propane is | | | | result two types hazard accidents that are |
| one of the hydrocarbon types that have low | | | | asphyxiation and explosion. Mostly leaks of tank |

| be carefully when using it because there are | | | | operation. As add information, catastrophically |
| some hazards and danger accident when we use | | | | accident can occur when large container fails |
| propane heater units negligent. Therefore in | | | | result high probability that call as BLEVE (Boiling |
| addition we get lot benefit from these units, don't | | | | Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion). |

| We know well that propane heaters are one of | | | | there are obviously effects. Asphyxiation can |
