(Quote)We have to use rubber gloves and safety glasses at work when we change tanks on the forklifts.
As mentioned, your employer has to take all manner of safety procedures into account, for his own protection. Also, one big difference between our RV's/grills, etc, and the forktrucks/machinery is that the RV's, etc, are a "vapor draw" system/tank, while the fork trucks/machinery are a "liquid draw" system. That liquid is very cold, and will freeze your skin on contact. The vapor, while still dangerous (and cold) isn't quite as bad as the liquid when it hits you. Ever had the doctor use liquid nitrogen to "burn something off your skin?
Liquid propane..same principle, except the propane will catch fire!!!
I'll admit, I seldom use gloves when changing the RV tanks, but ALWAYS use them when changing the machinery tanks. Learned that one the hard way........sigh!
