Fire from Leakage

The most prevalent hazard of LPG is leakage of gas leading to fire. Under our Singapore LPG Gas facility, we always recommend the customers to check their gas tubes and regulators frequently. It happens when holes are present in the tube between the cylinder and stove or it has worn out over time. The second common cause is improper maintenance of the burner or stove, by means of which gas may leak undetected.

To prevent this, we only provide certified gas tubes and equipment when you enroll in our LPG Gas service. We also advise our clients to replace old tubes before their expiry date. Always switch off your gas cylinder valve and stove if you are not using them for a while, even for a short time. This simple habit can prevent accidental gas accumulation that can trigger a deadly explosion or fire.

And use utmost care at all times. Should you ever have a suspicion of a gas leak, never test for it with an open flame. Inspect the joints with soap and water and look for bubbles. And if unsure, call our emergency staff immediately, our Singapore LPG Gas comes with reliable 24/7 support for your peace of mind.

Careless Usage or Bad Handling

A dangerous fire hazard is also caused by improper storage or handling of LPG cylinders. An LPG cylinder should be stored upright and on top of the ground. When wood, cloth, or paper flammable materials are brought close to the cylinder, a small leak can become a full-scale fire.

When you opt for Yew Lee Heng, you‘re not just getting gas delivery but you’re getting a complete LPG Gas service with installation, safety inspection, and simple instruction for safe storage. We always recommend keeping cylinders in open spaces and away from sources of heat. Keeping more than a single cylinder together in rooms that are close is not advisable either. Our professionals are always ready to inspect your setup and offer suggestions to make your LPG supply as safe as it gets.

Unattended Cooking

Most domestic fires start in the kitchen. One of the most frequent mistakes that people make is forgetting to watch over cooking for even a few minutes. Cooking oil, food splatters, and hot heat are extremely susceptible to catching fire and burning quickly when an LPG flame is employed.

We always recommend our customers to keep a lookout as the first line of defense. If you‘re using Singapore LPG Gas in your home, never leave your stove unattended when it’s on. If you need to step away, switch off the burner and the gas supply. By taking such simple precautions, your family and property will be safe from kitchen fire accidents.

Suffocation Due to Inhalation

Although not an ignition risk, inhaling leaked LPG gas is fatal. Prolonged exposure to LPG can cause suffocation and serious lung damage. Ventilate the area and exit the confined space immediately in the case of suspected leak. Never ignore even a trace of gas odor.

We advise all our customers to fit gas leak detectors as an extra safety measure. The sensors are inexpensive and warn you in the event of sudden rise in gas levels. As a part of our full LPG Gas service, we are happy to guide you on how and what equipment to buy and fit it properly. If you accidentally inhale, seek medical help at once and do not try to handle it yourself.

Kitchen Fire Safety Precautions

As the majority of fires start in the kitchen, we inform our customers about minor yet essential precautions:

  • Prevent children from cooking in the vicinity of gas stoves.
  • Do not keep kerosene, alcohol, or other combustible liquids in close proximity to your LPG cylinder or stove.
  • Keep the hob, chimney, and nearby surfaces grease and oil-free.
  • Fit a fire extinguisher near you and learn how to use it.
  • Tuck loose clothing out of the way to prevent accidental contact with flames.
  • When oil catches fire in a pan, do not pour water on it — cover the pan with the lid to extinguish the fire.

When you use our Singapore LPG Gas service, we provide you with safety tips and instruction sheets so that you and your loved ones can be safe on a daily basis.
