Safety rules when using a gas cylinder at home!!!

Now the population as a whole uses propane and butane gases compressed into a cylinder for cooking and heating their homes. Blue fuel is very convenient for people to use - it is highly flammable, clean, does not contaminate vessels with soot, and does not emit smoke.
Thus, the benefits of gas as a fuel in contrast to the giant are unparalleled, but people often do not remember its malignant aspects. If you are not careful with gas and make a small mistake, your propane, which is a “friend,” can become your real worst enemy and cause serious disasters for your loved ones and your home.
Tragedies due to gas explosions occur quite often in our country. Due to the negligence of one person and failure to follow safety rules, several families living in the neighborhood fall into tragedy and suffer.
According to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Gas”, the operation and storage of gas cylinder installations in residential buildings above 2 floors is prohibited.
In this regard, we remind citizens to follow the safety rules when using gas cylinders:
* Do not repair gas cylinders or equipment yourself;
• Do not hit the gas with iron tools, it may cause a spark;
* Do not leave devices that open and close gas mechanisms unattended, especially do not touch children’s hands;
* Tying a thread to a gas installation and hanging flammable substances on it;
* It is prohibited to use a gas installation to heat the room.

If you smell gas:
• Do not use open fire;
* Close the cylinder immediately;
* Ventilate and clear the room of gas;
* In a room filled with gas, you cannot use a telephone, light a light, or connect any power tools;
