Almost every house has cooking gas and people cook food on gas stoves using LPG cylinders. Now you can book a cylinder sitting at home and the gas agency sends your cylinder to your home. At the same time, the central government runs the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana for the poor class. At the same time, if you also use LPG, then you need to know that you should take special care of some things. Otherwise, a small mistake of yours can lead to a major accident. LPG is as convenient as it is, but it is also dangerous if carelessness is taken towards it. You can know further about this...
Do not do this carelessness:-
Number 1
Gas leakage seems to be an important reason for most of the accidents. If your gas is leaking, the pipe is cut or there is a problem in the cylinder itself, etc. So don't take it lightly. Get the pipe replaced immediately or your cylinder replaced. Otherwise, a major accident may occur.
Number 2
People have a habit that after using the gas stove, they do not switching it off completely. People switch off the button of the stove, but they do not switch off the regulator installed on the gas cylinder. In such a situation, if gas leaks, a major accident can occur. Therefore, turn off the gas from both places.
Number 3
Another mistake people make is that they do not check the expiry date of the gas cylinder. Whereas, this is written on the strip of the gas cylinder. Using a cylinder with an expiry date can be dangerous. If your dealer is giving you an expired cylinder, then do not take it because it is their responsibility to give you a cylinder without an expiry date.
Number 4
As far as possible, keep the gas cylinder out of the reach of children or do not allow children to go there. Small children can open the regulator while playing, due to which the gas can spread throughout the house and an accident can occur. Apart from this, do not allow children to use the gas stove.
