What should be done if a container shows signs of structural damage during an inspection?

If a container shows signs of structural damage during an inspection, immediate action is required to ensure safety. The correct response is to remove the container from service and repair it. This approach is vital because structural damage could compromise the container's integrity, leading to potential leaks or failures that pose significant hazards such as fires, explosions, or environmental contamination.

Addressing the damage immediately prevents any incidents that could arise from using a compromised container. Repairing the container ensures that it can safely hold LP gas under normal operating conditions, maintaining both safety standards and regulatory compliance.

The other options suggest delaying action or only reporting the damage, which could lead to dangerous situations. Regular inspections and appropriate responses to anomalies are crucial components in managing the safety of LP gas containers.
