LPG Safety Tips - BFP R6
### **LPG Safety Tips – Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Region 6**
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is widely used for cooking and heating but requires proper handling to prevent accidents. Here are **safety guidelines** recommended by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Region 6:
---
### **1️⃣ Storage Safety**
- **Keep LPG cylinders upright:** Always store them in an upright position to ensure safety and avoid leaks.
- **Store in a well-ventilated area:** Ensure the area is free from direct sunlight, heat sources, or open flames.
- **Avoid overcrowded spaces:** Do not store cylinders in confined or enclosed areas, such as basements.
---
### **2️⃣ Installation Safety**
- **Inspect the cylinder:** Before use, check for damage, rust, or signs of wear.
- **Use a regulator and hose:** Ensure they meet safety standards and are correctly installed.
- **Check for leaks:** Apply soapy water to the cylinder connections. If bubbles form, there’s a leak—close the valve and call your supplier immediately.
---
### **3️⃣ Usage Safety**
- **Never leave cooking unattended:** LPG-related fires often start in the kitchen. Always monitor your stove while cooking.
- **Turn off the valve:** Close the gas valve immediately after use.
- **Light match first, then open gas:** This minimizes the risk of accidental gas build-up.
---
### **4️⃣ Emergency Preparedness**
- **Know the smell of LPG:** It has a distinctive odor added for leak detection.
- **Do not switch on electrical appliances:** If you suspect a leak, avoid using switches as they could ignite gas.
- **Evacuate and call for help:** Contact the fire department or your LPG supplier if there's a leak or fire.
---
### **5️⃣ Routine Maintenance**
- **Check hoses regularly:** Replace hoses every two years or sooner if worn out.
- **Regularly service appliances:** Have your gas stove and regulator checked periodically by professionals.
---
### **Important Contacts**
- **BFP Region 6 Hotline:** Always keep the emergency numbers for your local fire station handy.
---
#### **Remember:** Safety begins with awareness and preparedness. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy the convenience of LPG while minimizing risks. Stay vigilant and safe! 🚒🔥
