HANDLING A PROPANE EMERGENCY

Your safety is our first priority. Propane is a safe and reliable fuel, but like many other fuels, it is highly flammable. That means it can be dangerous if not handled properly. Remember, in order to protect you, your family and others, you must be aware of – and respect – the normal, everyday hazards around you. Propane is no exception.

Please contact us if you:
● Start noticing a propane smell
● Have suspicions of a leak in your system
● Need to have a propane appliance connected or disconnected
● Purchase a new propane appliance or need to replace an existing one

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Here are some general safety procedures to follow when using your
propane appliance(s):

● Be alert for the odour of propane when around a gas appliance or container.
● If you smell gas, do not try to light the appliance. Please give us a Call.
● Read and follow the operating and lighting instructions as well as the warning labels provided by the appliance manufacturer.
● The pilot has a safety device. If you have trouble keeping it lit, this device is warning you about a problem. Call a service technician for assistance.
● Never force any appliance control. If you cannot operate the knobs, switches, or buttons by hand, please call your supplier. You should never tamper with the controls.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY TIPS

● Keep combustibles, such as curtains, paper, cleaning fluids, etc., away from any energy source. This includes gas and electric appliances where they may cause a fire.
● Ensure that you have a fire extinguisher readily available. Make sure it’s charged and that you, your family, and/or your employees know how to use it.
● Remember that gas appliances, like humans, need oxygen (air) to function properly.
● If you smell gas near your tank or cylinder, please give us a call.
● Use gas grills outdoors only.
● Use or store propane cylinders outdoors only
