Published: June 17, 2026
At Border Point Gas, your safety comes first.
As we get through the middle of the week, take a few minutes to check your LPG setup at home. A quick inspection today can help prevent accidents and ensure your kitchen stays safe and efficient.
1. Check Your Gas Pipe Regularly
Inspect your gas hose for cracks, wear, or loose connections.
If the pipe feels brittle, discoloured, or damaged, replace it immediately. Always use approved LPG accessories.
2. Keep Your Cylinder Upright
Your gas cylinder should always remain in an upright position.
Never lay it on its side or store it in enclosed spaces such as cupboards, basements, or under staircases.
3. Ensure Proper Ventilation
Use your gas cylinder in a well-ventilated kitchen.
Good airflow helps prevent gas build-up in the unlikely event of a leak.
4. Turn Off the Regulator After Use
Once you're done cooking, make it a habit to switch off the regulator.
This simple step adds an extra layer of safety and helps prevent unnecessary gas loss.
5. Know What to Do If You Smell Gas
If you notice the smell of gas:
Turn off the regulator immediately.
Open doors and windows.
Do not switch electrical appliances on or off.
Avoid lighting matches, candles, or lighters.
Move to a safe area and seek professional assistance.
