Section 175.

The Division of Occupational Safety and Health shall be the lead agency in providing for public health and safety as well as worker health and safety in the construction, maintenance, and operation of any liquefied petroleum gas storage facility, other than a facility owned or maintained by a public utility, having a capacity of 100,000 barrels or more, including storage vessels, and related piping, pumping, distribution, and transfer apparatus. As the lead agency, the division shall request any state or local agency having statutory public health and safety jurisdiction over any part of the construction, maintenance, or operation of any such liquefied petroleum gas storage facility, other than a facility owned or maintained by a public utility, to exercise its statutory jurisdiction in relation to such facility, and shall report to the Legislature any instance in which such jurisdiction was not exercised.
