Safety Guide

A smallest spark or flame can ignite gas fumes and cause an explosion. When a gas leak is suspected, extinguish all flames, incense sticks, etc. Close the LPG regulator and put the safety cap on the cylinder. Don’t light matches (or a lighter). Do not switch on/off any electrical switches or appliances. Open the doors and windows to ventilate your house. Call your gas supplier or the fire department. Isolate main electrical supply from the outside.

• Always store gas cylinders away from sunlight, heat, sparks and flame.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Protect containers and the valves against physical damage.
• LP gas cylinders must be stored in an upright position. The pressure relief valve should be in the vapour space of the cylinder.
• Get the tubing checked by agents from the company which supplies you the gas cylinder once a year. They have professional equipment to detect leaks if any.
• Replace tubes regularly

The fire from gas explosion may be extinguished with carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical powder or water spray. Using water jet and aiming water directly at point where gas is escaping is not recommended as the water may freeze. All personnel need to be evacuated to a safe area. Remove all flammable products from area of fire. Eliminate all sources of ignition if safe to do so.
