What action must be taken if a licensee discovers an incident involving CNG?

When a licensee discovers an incident involving Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), it is crucial to notify AFS (the appropriate authority) immediately. This prompt notification is essential for safety and regulatory compliance. CNG incidents can involve potential hazards, including leaks, fires, or safety risks to personnel and the environment. By informing AFS right away, appropriate emergency measures can be initiated, investigations can commence without delay, and any necessary regulatory requirements can be fulfilled quickly.

Timely reporting also ensures that the situation is managed appropriately and that there is a clear record of the incident for further analysis and future prevention strategies. This quick response is aligned with best practices in safety and incident management in transportation and handling of CNG.
