Similar to gas poisoning, improper use of gas can also lead to intoxication accidents. And once gas leakage happens, it may lead to gas explosion. The main reasons for these accidents are: first, common people lack basic common knowledge; Second, common people feel that they use gas too often to meet a problem, indicating that paralytic thought is really serious.
What emergent measures should be taken when gas and natural gas leakage is discovered?
(1) Close the valve. Usually, in order to make it easier to identify a flammable gas leak, some odorous gases are added to the flammable gas. So, once it leaks, shut off the gas pipe stop or the gas tank valve.
(2) Open the window for ventilation. In daily life, if the smell is found, open the window and the door immediately to facilitate ventilation convection. That’s how we can reduce the leakage of combustible gas concentration.
Once you find gas leakage in the home, do not switch on and off electrical appliances while opening the windows and ventilation. For example, don’t open lights, the exhaust fan, and the range hood or make phone calls.
Experts remind
Once you find gas leakage in the home, do not switch on and off electrical appliances while opening the windows and ventilation. For example, don’t open lights, the exhaust fan, and the range hood or make phone calls as the electric spark or arc may detonate or ignite combustible gas, which will cause bigger disaster to families and other people. After leaving the leakage area, go to a place where the flammable gas concentration is low and then call 119 or the gas company for a quick telephone alarm
(3) Evacuate family members. Get your family to a safe place, make a phone call for warranty, and notify your neighbors to make preparation.
