Everything in life is a matter of odds and risk. What are the odds of an RV'er being injured by propane while changing a tank? The short burst of pressure as you hook up or remove the gas line from the tank, may blow a foreign particle into an eye. What are the odds of that happening? Liquid propane can cause skin to freeze if contact is made. What are the odds of that happening? At this juncture, you have to assess the level of risk you are willing to assume. Personally I don't feel that the odds of these things happening rise to the risk level that I need gloves and glasses to change the tanks. Your employer on the other hand, for many reasons, liability and insurance cost among them, cannot or will not assume any level of risk, no matter how slight.
