Go to your Air Product web site or almost any gas handling/producing Co. for the MSDS sheets. There may also be specific guidlines from your local fire deptments or building codes such as type of storage area construction or quantities restrictions. Most municipal buildings don't allow propane to be stored in the building and require items like propane powered forklifts to be stored outdoors or have the tank removed and stored outdoors.
