How to prevent gas accidents in residents' homes

Natural gas is a common fuel, but there are some hidden dangers in its use. In home life, gas accidents should be prevented from the following aspects.

The first is to check whether the gas facilities at home are safe. In fact, natural gas companies now regularly check whether there is a gas leak in every household. Usually, they will take professional instruments to test data and help them deal with security risks in time. However, because the natural gas company will check regularly, if there is no one at home, it may miss this inspection opportunity. You can also check yourself at home, for example, at several natural gas pipelines and next to gas stoves, try to check whether there is any air leakage with soap solution. Many natural gas accidents are caused by gas leakage. If there is a gas leak, you must report it to the natural gas company in time and ask them to repair it.

The second is the need to install a natural gas alarm. Natural gas alarm can give a warning when natural gas leaks, and it is also a good assistant for everyone to use natural gas safely at home. But when using natural gas alarm, we should also pay attention to whether it is aging. Under normal circumstances, the service life of natural gas alarms is five years, and most families do not maintain them according to the frequency of replacing them every five years. When the natural gas alarm gives a warning, we must pay attention to it, immediately close the natural gas valve and ask professionals for help. So for everyone's safety, we must do a good job in the maintenance of natural gas alarms.

Third, we should use natural gas safely. You can't use natural gas when no one is at home. In order to save time, some people use natural gas to stew soup when they go out, thinking that they can eat it when they get home. However, in the process of stewing soup, the water in the pot may put out the fire, which is easy to cause natural gas leakage. If there are old people and children at home, they must be educated to use natural gas safely. Children should never use natural gas, and the elderly should also pay attention to turning off the gas stove. Some elderly people who live alone often forget to turn off the valve after using natural gas because of their poor memory, which may easily lead to natural gas leakage and even explosion.

Fourth, we should pay attention to ventilation when using natural gas. I remember when I was a child, every time I took a shower, my parents would remind me to break the window. Because most natural gas explosion accidents occur in confined spaces. Pay attention to ventilation, on the one hand, to prevent natural gas poisoning, on the other hand, to prevent explosion that may be caused by natural gas leakage.
