The use of LPG has significantly risen among commercial enterprises in recent years because of its cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits compared to other fuels.LPG is potentially hazardous from the point of production until the end use due to its highly flammable mixture.Thus, an explosion or fire has become an inherent risk.Many accidents are reported in the kitchen and storage areas of hotels.It's essential to prioritize proactive safety tools over reactive safety measures to meet the high safety requirements.Therefore, this research aims to develop a model for predicting safety risks to enhance the safety of LPG facilities within the hotel sector in Sri Lanka.Safety risk-causing factors and relevant standard clauses were identified and related to a safety prediction rating for LPG facilities.Outputs of a validated multidimensional safety risk prediction model give the compliance level of LPG installations and are presented as a Safety Prediction Index (SPI).Safety recommendations are grouped according to the derived SPI ranges for LPG installations.The hotel sector can use this model to understand the prevailing level of risk and safety compliance of LPG installations.
