How must the Commission be initially notified of an accident or incident involving LP-gas at an installation?

The correct method for initial notification of an accident or incident involving LP-gas is through a phone call to the Commission within two hours. This prompt communication is critical as it ensures that the authorities are aware of the situation quickly, allowing for a swift response to prevent further hazards or consequences.

Reporting incidents in a timely manner enables the Commission to mobilize resources, conduct investigations, and implement any necessary safety measures to protect public health and safety. The requirement for notifying via phone emphasizes the importance of immediacy in handling such potentially dangerous incidents.

Options like notifying in writing after twenty-four hours or waiting until the next business day do not fulfill the urgent need for immediate awareness and response to LP-gas related accidents, which can pose serious risks to life and property if not addressed swiftly. Additionally, while notifying through local authority might be part of a broader protocol, the specific requirement here emphasizes direct communication with the Commission itself to ensure they are apprised of the situation as soon as possible.
