Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is an essential part of almost every Indian household. From cooking daily meals to fueling hot water geysers, LPG keeps homes running smoothly. At the same time, safety is of utmost importance when dealing with gas cylinders. As a trusted HP Gas distributor in Pune, Lonkar HP Gas Agency believes that every family should follow simple yet effective safety measures to ensure peace of mind.
1. Check Your Cylinder on Delivery
Whenever you receive a new cylinder, check the seal and the weight. Our delivery staff always ensures that the cylinder is leak-tested before it reaches your doorstep. Never accept a cylinder with a broken seal.
2. Use the Right Regulator and Hose Pipe
Always use an ISI-marked regulator and hose pipe. Check for cracks, wear, or loose fittings. Replace hoses every 2–3 years to avoid leaks.
3. Ensure Proper Ventilation
Your kitchen should have windows or exhaust fans to allow fresh air circulation. In case of a minor leak, good ventilation reduces the risk of gas accumulation.
4. Safe Cylinder Placement
Keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position on a flat surface. Never place it near electrical points, open flames, or direct sunlight.
5. Detecting a Leak
If you smell gas (similar to rotten eggs), immediately switch off the regulator, open windows and doors, and avoid using electrical switches. Call our 24×7 emergency helpline: 7378300444 for assistance.
6. Educate Your Family Members
Make sure everyone at home knows how to switch off the regulator, detect leaks, and whom to contact in emergencies.
At Lonkar HP Gas Agency, we not only deliver LPG safely but also provide safety awareness with every delivery. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy safe, stress-free cooking every day.
