If LPG is used in your house too, then this news is most important for you. Often we make small mistakes while cooking or changing the cylinder, which can later lead to a major accident or fire. Keeping in mind the safety of you and your family, Bharat Gas has issued a ‘Safety Panchmantra’. By adopting these 5 easy rules, you can not only prevent major accidents but also keep your home completely safe.
What is the ‘Safety Panchamantra’ of Bharat Gas?
Bharat Gas has stated in its official guidelines that first of all, always keep your gas stove higher than the cylinder and on a strong platform. Make sure that the stove is not on the ground. Apart from this, whenever you buy a new cylinder, check its weight and gas leakage thoroughly before buying it. The most important rule in terms of safety is to make it a habit to close the regulator after cooking and before sleeping at night, so that the risk of gas leaking is completely eliminated.
Additionally, it is mandatory to get your LPG connection and entire installation checked by an authorized technician every 5 years. The most important thing is that if you smell gas in the house, immediately turn off the regulator and do not touch any electrical switch or electronic device. In such a situation, immediately inform your gas distributor.
What to do if you feel gas leakage?
If you feel a strong smell of gas in the kitchen, instead of panicking, act wisely. First of all, turn off the regulator and open all the windows and doors of the house so that the gas can come out. Keep in mind that during this time do not light any matchbox, lighter or electric switch at all. Go to a safe place and immediately call your gas agency or emergency helpline number.
These small precautions are very important for the safe use of LPG cylinder. By getting your connections checked from time to time and following these safety rules, you can reduce incidents like gas leakage and fire to a great extent. Safety is prevention, so note down these rules today itself.
