A structured questionnaires was developed and used for interview on LPG auto (N = 150) and LPG tanker (N = 150) drivers. Statistical results show that there is a significant difference on auto driver’s safety knowledge without training and tanker driver’s knowledge with training at regular interval of time.

In the mid to late 90’s, air pollution has become an issue attracting wide public concern
After collecting the data from the sample the responses of each subject were scored. In this investigation the questionnaire of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) auto drivers consisted of 20 questions and for LPG tanker drivers consisted 25 questions, each had two options, “YES’’ and “NO”
The knowledge of LPG auto drivers on safety is low, because they did not get any safety training from any authorities. Their mean score of “NO” is greater than the mean score of “YES” and for these reasons the LPG auto drivers are known little about safety aspects on LPG
Summary
In the mid to late 90’s, air pollution has become an issue attracting wide public concern. To alleviate the air pollution problem, one of the measures identified was to replace diesel vehicles with vehicles using cleaner fuel, i.e., Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), which is a readily available fuel. In an order on July 18, 2008 a Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court has ordered that only four-stroke auto rickshaws running on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) will be allowed to ply on Kolkata’s roads and order banning all commercial vehicles older than 15 years. C. Ghosh observed that there would be no conversion of two-stroke auto-rickshaws.
