LPG Cylinder Safety: Common Mistakes to Avoid
Everyday mistakes that reduce LPG safety, and simple alternatives.
A few recurring habits are worth correcting in any kitchen using LPG.
- Storing the cylinder on its side instead of upright.
- Placing the cylinder in a sealed cupboard with no ventilation.
- Using a worn or cracked hose because it still seems to work.
- Attempting to fix a valve or regulator without the right qualifications.
- Leaving the burner on unattended.
When to call a professional
Any technical fault with a valve, regulator or fixed installation should be handled by a qualified professional. If you suspect a leak, treat it as an emergency and contact the appropriate emergency services.
