LPG Safety at Home: The Ten Rules Every Household Should Follow

LPG runs millions of Pakistani kitchens safely every day — the accidents that make the news almost always trace back to the same few shortcuts. Here are the rules that prevent them.

The ten rules

1. Store cylinders upright, in ventilated space, never in a sealed cupboard or below ground level.
2. Use a proper regulator — a quality unit like the Super Gree Clip-On Low-Pressure Gas Regulator holds steady pressure and clips off cleanly.
3. Replace rubber hose pipes every two years; check for cracks monthly.
4. Test new connections with soapy water, never a match.
5. Smell gas? Open windows first — touch no switches, light nothing.
6. Close the cylinder valve every night and before travel.
7. Never refill from unauthorised decanting shops.
8. Keep cylinders away from direct sun and heat sources.
9. Retire rusted or dented cylinders — or switch to the explosion-free Burhan Gas Company (BGC) Composite Fiber LPG Cylinder (10 kg).
10. Teach every adult in the house where the valve is and how to close it.
