What is one significant risk related to propane storage if proper codes are not followed?

Electrical hazards
Fire and explosion hazards
Water contamination
Soil erosion

The correct answer is: Fire and explosion hazards

The significant risk related to propane storage when proper codes are not followed is fire and explosion hazards. Propane is a highly flammable gas, and when stored improperly, it can lead to leaks, which create an immediate risk of fire or explosion. If propane tanks are not secured or if there are defects in the storage area such as inadequate ventilation, the gas can accumulate and ignite from any spark or heat source. Ensuring that propane storage adheres to strict safety codes is critical to managing these risks, including maintaining appropriate pressure relief systems and preventing potential ignition sources in the vicinity of storage. Other risks, such as electrical hazards, water contamination, or soil erosion, while important in their respective contexts, do not directly relate to the specific dangers posed by improper propane storage.
