Is it permitted to stack containers one above the other?

In the context of safely handling propane containers, stacking containers one above the other is prohibited. This regulation is in place primarily to prevent accidents, such as the risk of tipping or the possibility of damage to the containers due to pressure or impact. When containers are stacked, it becomes difficult to monitor them for leaks or other potential hazards, and the structural integrity of the stack may be compromised, especially if containers are not designed for stacking. Regulations emphasize maintaining a safe environment when storing and transporting propane, which includes keeping containers upright and properly secured to avoid any incidents that could arise from improper handling. Therefore, adhering to the rule against stacking helps ensure safety and compliance with industry standards.
