SOP OP.06.26 discusses which hazards?

• A. Electrical Hazards
• B. LPG and Natural Gas Hazards
• C. Water Hazards
• D. Fire Hazards

Answer: (B)

SOP OP.06.26 focuses on hazards related to liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas. The material emphasizes the unique dangers these fuels pose—high flammability, potential for rapid vapor spread, and the need for detection and safe management. LPG, being heavier than air, can collect in low areas and pockets; natural gas, lighter than air, tends to rise and accumulate in upper spaces, so the response and ventilation strategies differ accordingly. The procedures cover recognizing leaks, using appropriate gas-detection equipment, isolating gas supplies, ventilating confined spaces, and eliminating ignition sources during an incident. Evacuation and alerting the gas utility are standard steps because the priority is preventing ignition and ensuring people are removed from danger. Although fire could result from a leak or electrical sparks, the explicit focus of this SOP is on LPG and natural gas hazards rather than general electrical, water, or fire hazards, making this the most accurate representation of the SOP's scope.
