Top 8 Steps To Avoid Gas Explosion At Home by NigerGossip(m): 9:23pm On Jun 07, 2020
The adoption of natural gas have become a widely accepted way of cooking food, warming the house globally,We occasionally learn of gas explosions in the news, whether it be at a private residence or place of business. Often times the structure is left in ruins. Too often human lives are lost, A gas explosion usually happen when there is a gas leak in the presence of fire or flame, gas explosion cause lost of life's and property. So I made my research on what causes Gas explosion and how to prevent the Gas explosion at our homes.

Causes Of Gas Explosion:

Damaged,old and Rusty gas cylinder or pipe.
Improper or incorrect installation of Gas appliances
Wrong use of gas cylinder
Wrong refilling cylinder.


Steps To Take to Avoid Gas Explosion:

1, Always Check The Stove: Please always make sure you proper turn off the stove of your gas when done with cooking or going out to get something, someone may bumps into the stove and the gas is accidentally turned on, which can lead to fire.

2.Store Cylinder Properly: The best way to store your cylinder properly is to know the kind of cylinder you have at home, by knowing the nature of the site and the content of the cylinder, example,Osha rules rules provide different guidance for proper storage on construction sites and industrial setting. Do not store any Oxidizers within two feet of flammable gases unless they are separated by firewalls, most kind of home cylinder can be stored safely by there sides but acetylene cylinder are totally different and should be kept vertical with care.

3. Open All Doors and Windows in the Kitchen: Ventilation really help in fighting against gas explosion because gas is air which can easily move from one place to another, that is why all gas station store there gas in a Good ventilated environment.

4. Always Inspect cylinder Before refilling or cooking : Please make sure you always do your regular check-up on your gas cylinder, stove and pipes before use or refilling,because the first worker who use it are in the first line of danger.when you need to move a cylinder make sure you use a basket or Cart because dragging or rolling them on the floor causes serious damage.

5. Don't use your phone to call or receive while using the Gas:

A cell phone has got tiny electronic contact inside of it they make sparks Sparks make gasoline go boom! it's just not a good idea to come close to gasoline vapors with your cell phone.
