What should a licensee do if an incident involves both personnel injury and significant gas loss?

In the case of an incident involving personnel injury and significant gas loss, it is critical to notify the appropriate authorities as per reporting requirements. This course of action ensures that the incident is recorded and assessed properly, allowing for a prompt response to address both the safety of personnel and the potential environmental impact due to gas loss.

Reporting allows for further investigation to identify the causes of the incident, which can help prevent future occurrences and ensures compliance with regulatory obligations. Additionally, effective reporting facilitates coordination with emergency services and other necessary organizations to manage the situation appropriately and safely.

This response is vital not only for the immediate resolution of the situation but also for the long-term safety practices within the industry. Therefore, adhering to the reporting requirements set by state or local authorities is the correct and responsible procedure to follow in such incidents.
