And now for some
General
Safety Tips
Here are some safety tips that could make a difference in your life and
those around you.
1- Learn
what propane smells like. Propane retailers have scratch-and-sniff
pamphlets
...
to help your family recognize its distinctive odor.
2- Know where gas lines are located, so you won't damage them when
digging or working in the yard.
3- Change or clean furnace filters regularly as recommended by the
manufacturer.
4- Don't store cleaning fluids, oil-soaked rags, gasoline, or other
flammable liquids near a gas-burning appliance where vapors could be
ignited by the pilot light.
Storm
Safety Tips
Before the storm or flood:
1- If you have to evacuate to higher ground,
turn off the service valve on the propane portable cylinder or
permanent tank and the shutoff valve on all propane appliances. (Be sure to
check first with your propane supplier if you don't know where the shutoff
valves are located.) The permanent tank's service valve should be left off
until the system and appliances have been checked by a qualified service
person.
2- To secure propane equipment, tanks and cylinders (including grill
cylinders) during a severe flood or high-wind condition, tie them to
strongly secured stationary objects. Grill cylinders should be taken
outside and secured to a strong stationary object. Wire cable instead of
rope is recommended.
Making a
Safe Fuel Even Safer.
Propane is a very safe fuel. But as with any energy source, there are steps
you should take to further ensure your safety:
After the storm or flood:
· Your propane supplier should inspect propane-powered household
appliances, farm equipment or vehicles with controls or regulators that
have been underwater before being put back into service. Since water damage
to propane equipment and appliances is not always readily apparent, Your
gas company or propane supplier highly recommends a complete inspection of
the entire system before attempting to operate equipment.
1- The number one problem created by flooding is water damage of
regulators and controls. Such damage can cause blockage, corrosion or
other malfunction of the key safety devices that are built into the system.
2- In addition, dirt or debris may have entered the regulator through
the vent. While this is not an immediate threat, selected parts may
need to be replaced to ensure the long-range safety of the equipment.
Propane suppliers can also determine whether dents to the container or
piping caused by flowing debris
are serious enough to warrant equipment replacement.
· If your propane equipment has been flooded, be sure to shut off
the service valve at the propane tank if you didn't do so before evacuating
the property. This can be done by turning the valve in a clockwise
direction.
Be sure to have the system and appliances checked prior to turning on the
gas supply again.
· In the rare cases when people smell gas upon returning to their home,
business or farm, they should extinguish all smoking materials and open
flames. Exit the building immediately. Do not touch electrical
switches, light matches or use the phone. Turn off the gas valve on the
outside tank, meter or service area.
Telephone the fire department and/or your propane supplier from a
neighbor's phone. Do not re-enter until the building has been inspected.
Safe Grilling Tips
..1-
Always
follow grill manufacturer's instructions and keep written materials
accessible.
..2- When lighting
a grill, make sure grill top is open.
..3- Always use or
store cylinders outdoors in an upright (vertical) position.
..4- When the
cylinder is refilled, have the supplier check for dents, damage, rust, or
leaks.
..5- Before
connecting or lighting a propane gas grill, use a leak-detection solution
to check connections for tightness. Do not use matches or lighters to check
for leaks. Your propane gas supplier has leak-detection solutions and
instructions.
..6- After filling
or exchanging, take the cylinder home immediately. Keep the vehicle
ventilated and the cylinder valve closed and capped.
..7- If there is an
uncontrollable release of gas, call the fire department.
..8- Do not allow
children to tamper or play with the cylinder or grill.
..9- Do not smoke
while handling a propane cylinder.
10- When not in use, grill burner controls should be turned off and
cylinder valve closed.
11- Do not use, store, or transport cylinders near high temperatures
(this includes storing spare cylinders near the grill).
12- When a grill is not in use, cover disconnected hose-end fittings
with small, plastic bags or protective caps to keep clean.
