Liquefied petroleum gas or LPG is an indispensable component of any ordinary household. However not everyone knows the safety risks and conservation issues that revolve around it. Being a flammable gas makes liquefied petroleum gas potentially dangerous. This gas can cause hazardous fires and explosions if not handled properly. LPG delivery should be done in such a way that the gas does not pose any threat to the public.

• Your choice of LPG suppliers should be trustworthy. They should be able to provide high quality, reliable and user-friendly LPG cylinders.
• Use only LPG appliances that pass the accepted local safety standards.
• Always close or tighten the cylinder valves after each use. You should also use a child safe regulator for domestic use.
• Make sure LPG delivery is done on a regular basis to replace the LPG cylinder hoses in a regular basis.
• The cylinder should always be standing upright. Make sure the LPG suppliers that provide your cylinders come with stable bases.
