Gas Safety Tips for Cape Town Homes and Businesses at Devon Gas Centre
Store cylinders safely
Keep LP gas cylinders upright, secure and away from heat, flames and enclosed spaces. Do not store cylinders where leaking gas can collect without ventilation.
Check hoses and fittings
Inspect hoses, regulators, valves and fittings regularly. If a part looks cracked, damaged, loose or worn, stop using it and ask for advice before reconnecting it.
Ventilation matters
Use gas appliances in suitable, ventilated spaces. Follow appliance instructions and avoid using outdoor-only equipment indoors.
If you smell gas
Turn off the gas supply if it is safe to do so, avoid flames and electrical switches, ventilate the area, move away from the source and get help. Do not ignore a gas smell.
