Gas connections have become a common convenience in millions of homes across the country, as people use LPG for cooking. However, due to negligence, cases of gas leaks have come to light, posing a risk of major accidents. Today, we are here to tell you what to do in case of a gas leak. Many times people ignore the smell of gas, which leads to major accidents.
Switch off the cylinder immediately:
If you suspect a gas leak, take necessary action immediately. Close the cylinder to prevent further gas leakage. During this time avoid touching any switches or attempting to light the flame.
Turn on ventilation:
If possible, open windows and doors to let fresh air into the room. It helps in maintaining ventilation in the kitchen. Avoid using any electrical switch during this period.
Avoid using fire:
Avoid using the stove in case of gas leakage. Attempting to light a gas stove with a lighter may result in a cylinder fire. Stay away from open flame or any source of spark.
Use a wet cloth or blanket to suppress the flames:
If the gas has spread significantly or the cylinder has caught fire, try to extinguish the fire using a wet cloth or blanket. Additionally, consider contacting the police or fire brigade for assistance.
Evacuate safely:
If the gas leak is serious and the situation is becoming critical, move to a safe place. Give priority to saving your life and that of your family members. Seek professional help from the fire brigade or police.
