Safety precautions for PNG

Do’s

• Every morning, before you turn on your gas stove, make it a habit to open all doors and windows. Since gas is lighter than air, it would disperse immediately in case of any leakage and avoid any incidents of fire or explosions
• If you can smell gas or doubt a leakage, do not ignite a match or lighter. Close the main control valve and call the IOAGPL Emergency helpline – Number
• If the leakage is observed in the PE (Poly-ethylene) line, inform IOAGPL company representative immediately and do not allow any vehicles near the leakage point
• Inform the IOAGPL representative if any digging/ construction work is being done on the gas line
• Always close your gas tap before you go to bed at night
• Always ensure the rubber tube fits correctly
• Never use non-standard or unauthorised tubes; we only recommend rubber tube supplied/ approved by the gas company.
• Always close the main control valve if you are not going to be home for a day or more
• When you turn on your gas again after a long duration, make sure all the doors and windows of your house are open
• Always use standard ISI mark stoves and burners
• Always ensure that the hot utensils or liquids are not in direct contact with your rubber tube
• When you are cooking, make sure that you do not leave the burner or stove unattended
• Once you complete your cooking, make sure you close the burner knob and gas tap
• If the gas supply stops suddenly, close the knob and open all doors and windows. Only once there is no smell of gas should you turn on the stove again
• It is safe to wear cotton apron or cotton clothes during cooking
• Never use a sari to lift any utensils from the stove
