The LPGSA goes to great lengths to stay at the forefront of the various technologies and global developments. By participating, actively, in international forums the Association shares and exchanges skills, knowledge and expertise. It learns from and directly applies that shared knowledge, to the ultimate benefit of the industry and its people.
Part of the LPGSA’s strategy is to engage with government, distributors and consumers on relevant issues such as regulation, installation and safety. Key stakeholders include the: Department of Energy, Department of Labour, Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Environmental Affairs and extends to include the Departments of Health, Housing and Education.
Working closely with these departments the LPGSA has achieved a number of important and safety related milestones including the Safe Appliance Scheme, the verification of LPGas cylinders and the registration of LPGas Installers.
