LPG Safety

Our Commitment

Safety Isn't an
Afterthought

At Gas On Wheels, safety is engineered into every step of our process — from how we fill cylinders at our licensed plant, to how our trained delivery staff handle and install them at your home.

Every cylinder is inspected before filling, filled to the correct pressure and weight, sealed, and transported in properly equipped vehicles. Our delivery staff are trained in safe gas installation and know exactly what to check when exchanging or connecting a cylinder.

We also believe educated customers are safer customers — read our safety tips below to ensure your household is using gas correctly.

Essential Tips

LPG Safety at Home

Follow these guidelines to keep your household safe when using cooking gas.

🌬️

Always Ventilate

Never use your gas stove in a completely enclosed room. Keep a window or door open to ensure proper ventilation while cooking.

🔥

Never Leave Flames Unattended

Always turn off your burner when leaving the kitchen. An unattended flame is a fire risk — always check before you leave.

🔧

Check Connections Regularly

Inspect your regulator hose for cracks or wear. Apply soapy water to connections — if bubbles form, there's a leak. Don't use until fixed.

🚫

Never Use Open Flames to Test Leaks

If you suspect a gas leak, do NOT use a match or lighter to check. Open windows and doors and contact us immediately.

📦

Store Cylinders Upright

Always store gas cylinders in an upright position in a cool, well-ventilated area. Never store cylinders on their side or near heat sources.

👶

Keep Away from Children

Store cylinders out of reach of children. Ensure children are not unsupervised near gas appliances or cylinders.

🔒

Close the Valve When Not in Use

Always turn off the cylinder valve after cooking — not just the stove knob. This prevents slow leaks and is a critical safety habit.

📅

Inspect Your Equipment

Old hoses and regulators wear out over time. Replace your regulator and hose every 2–3 years or if you notice discolouration, cracking, or hardening.
