all vehicles equipped with compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanks to undergo immediate inspection.

 

IMO a long time coming! Typical Thailand, always reactive to disasters rather than proactive to try and prevent them.

Yes tend to agree but its a start  on an education in Safety

I have worked in the Oil & Gas industry for over 30 years and there is no one within that industry that I know who would have a gas propelled vehicle. We know the dangers of gas and they outweigh the benefits, if any, that they provide.

No they are not. Get a rupture in the tank even a small one and they can explode. Petrol does not do that. If in the same condition as new true they are safe but that is never the reality of their use.

Lets get some facts in regard to Natural gas  If you worked in the oil and gas industry you should know this Natural gas as any gas, petrol, need to mixed with oxygen before it   ignites  Natural gas is harder to ignite that petrol  Natural gas will not ignite if it flows onto a hot surface petrol will   If there is a leak natural gas will not ignite with out an ignition source Petrol will ignite without a an ignition source if it get hot. if a gas system is maintained correctly there is no problem  and I don't think the world is going to stop using Gas power vehicle soon

Looking at the photo of location of the tank why isnt a firewall added to contain any explosion and fire! 

You cracked it, there are no realistic safety protocols here, just knee jerk reactions, with no real safety guidelines, or build quality. 

Every time is the same, did they not order a crackdown a couple of years ago when a minibus caught fire and killed a group of Myanmar workers? Same again, in a few weeks it will be forgotten. The only crackdowns here are the ones on the officials rear ends nestled comfortably in their big office chairs as they count the envelopes.

You need to do your research, Thailand has a Multitude of Standards and safety protocols and build standards, there are lots of safety guidelines The problems is Not the safety standards it is the implementation and education on how to use them   do you know how to do a risk management assessment  you should as it could save your life one day Hazards are part of daily life  Risk assessment helps to Identify these hazards

Thailand's one of the most loved countries on earth, full stop. most of the "negativity" is more like angry/dysfunctional people whose lives are a mess. they take out their frustrations on the nation, endless scapegoating  Nothing meaningfully to post on the topic don't post
