What should be done if the nameplate on a buried container is obscured?

When a nameplate on a buried LP gas container is obscured, it is essential to install a duplicate accessible nameplate. This is because nameplates contain vital information such as the manufacturer's name, serial number, and specifications related to the container, which are critical for safety and regulatory compliance. If the original nameplate is not visible, having a duplicate ensures that relevant information can still be accessed in case of an emergency or during routine inspections.

Maintaining clear and accessible identification on gas containers is crucial for safety and operational efficiency. If the nameplate is obscured, it poses a potential risk as personnel might not be able to access necessary information quickly in a situation that requires it. Therefore, ensuring that there is an accessible nameplate is a proactive measure to uphold safety standards and comply with regulations.
