Don’t keep LPG cylinders indoors – NPA cautions public

Consumers have been cautioned not to keep their LPG cylinders indoors as the practice is extremely danger­ous in case of leakage, the naked eye cannot see gas, hence the need to keep cylinders outside to avert fire outbreaks.

Head of Consumer Services at the National Petroleum Authority, NPA, Eunice Budu Nyarko, cau­tioned the public during interac­tions with traders, market women, artisans, and hawkers, among others, on LPG safety awareness and sensiti­sations in some major communities in the Eastern Region.

She observed that some people did not want to keep their cylinders outside because of the fear that they would be stolen, saying “If you have cylinders in any enclosed place, ensure it is in the open and take steps to protect it to avoid it being stolen,” she urged, stressing that it was important for consum­ers of petroleum products such as LPG to be conscious of their safety

These engagements, which took place in communities such as Nsawam, Suhum, Adawso, Akateng and Koforidua and its environs, featured interactive sessions, presentations, and the dis­tribution of educational materials on LPG safety.
