    Default Good safety habits -LPG cylinder

    Good safety habits

    * Always keep the cylinders in a vertical position with the valve on top. If cylinder is placed in any other position, liquid LPG may gush out of the open valve creating a dangerous situation.

    * Not more than two cylinders should be stored in a room.

    * If cylinders are placed in cupboards, these cupboards should be provided with ventilation openings both at floor level and at top level. A half gap should suffice.

    * Cylinders must not be installed in any position in which they may become overheated, e.g. alongside a sigree or any other heating appliance. If any heating appliance has to be used, it must be kept at above ground height and never on floor level.

    * Do not keep cylinder exposed to sun, rain, dust and heat.

    * Always use BIS approved rubber tube, check for BIS mark on the rubber tube. The length of tube should be between 1 to 1.5 m.

    * Don't conceal any part of rubber tube by any type of shut or cover, which obstructs the visual check along the total length of tube.

    * Avoid keeping 'pooja' lamp and Refrigerator in Kitchen.

    * Do not place the appliance directly in front of the window. There is a chance that a strong breeze may put off the flame causing accumulation of LPG in the room.
