LPG has become an important energy solution for households across Bangladesh. It offers convenient and controllable heat for everyday cooking, but safe handling should always be a priority. A few simple habits can make LPG use safer for everyone in the home.
Keep the Cylinder Upright
Always place the LPG cylinder vertically on a stable and level surface. Avoid placing it sideways or somewhere it could easily fall.
Maintain Proper Ventilation
Ensure that the kitchen has adequate ventilation. Avoid keeping an LPG cylinder in a completely enclosed or poorly ventilated area.
Keep It Away From Heat
Cylinders should be kept away from direct flames, excessive heat, and other potential heat sources.
Inspect the Hose and Regulator
Regularly check the hose, regulator, valve, and connections for visible damage or deterioration.
Turn Off the Regulator After Use
After cooking, turn off the regulator according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Never Check for Leaks With a Flame
Never use a match or lighter to locate an LPG leak. If you suspect a leak, avoid creating sparks, move to a safe place, and follow the appropriate emergency procedure.
Use Suitable Equipment
Always use compatible LPG equipment and have installation, repair, and replacement work performed by qualified personnel.
Safety begins with awareness. Responsible LPG use helps create a safer environment for families and communities.
