At what stage should the emergency services be called where there is a leak of LPG gas?
The gas I know is heavier than air and collect in drains etc. How would the emergency services make any collected gas safe?

What sort of quantities are we talking about.
What is the LPG stored in?

Also. Replace cap if possible. Move cyclinder to a safe area and call the dealer. If the flame does not go out when the regulator is turned off, leave the appliance alight and call your dealer. Do not attempt to diconnect.

I would ask the supplier this question.
Without being clever, surely this requires a formal risk assessment? 2000 litres of LPG is a serious quantity and requires proper management and planning, one part of which is the emergency planning aspect.
You "only" need 10 Tonnes to get into lower tier COMAH for materials (such as Propane, Butane) classified as "extremely flammable".
In addition The Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquefied Petroleum Gases Regulations 1972 apply, and there is great guidance available from the HSE.

Posted By Pete48 Baggie, have you seen this link from the LPGA? (the LPG Association not the golfers!!) http://www.lpga.co.uk/LPGA.htmThey also produce a whole series of codes that will help you manage your storage properly. From memeory, COP3 is most probably the one you need (but check with the LPGA). for your current question and to help you build the plan you should have in place for the mgmt of this facility.Cost is about £25. Prompt action by trained staff may well be able to control a leak situation without the need for emergency assistance but the response depends on the design of the facility, the staff and the nature and type of the leak. A small leak from a pipe joint for example is a different matter to an uncontrolled leak from a tank of 2000 litres volume.
