Health and Safety Executive Potential for leaks of LPG from underground pipes into caravans and park homes Prepared by the Health and Safety Laboratory for the Health and Safety Executive RR945 Research Report Health and Safety Executive Potential for leaks of LPG from underground pipes into caravans and park homes Jill Wilday CEng FIChemE Harpur Hill Buxton Derbyshire SK17 9JN A key factor leading to the fatal explosion at ICL Plastics Ltd was corrosion of underground metallic service pipework carrying LPG into the factory building. Leaking of LPG from the corroded pipe into the building with its subsequent ignition resulted in the explosion. A programme to replace buried metallic service pipework with pipework made from non-corrosive materials such as polyethylene at industrial and commercial premises is currently underway.
