LPG Safety for Your Home or Business
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a convenient, affordable and safe Australian fuel. Gas bottles are tested and inspected to make sure they’re safe to use. Suppliers make LPG smell as an extra precaution, to help people detect gas in the event of a leak. The smell is a strong and disagreeable odor that resembles rotten eggs.
If you smell gas, you should switch off your gas bottle immediately as LPG is flammable. Sometimes gas can lose its smell so it’s important that you use common sense when using LPG and don’t rely on your sense of smell alone to warn you of leaking gas. The loss of smell is known as odorant fade. Suppliers follow strict procedures to lessen the chances of odorant fade occurring. You can also help to prevent odorant fade by using and storing your LPG cylinders correctly.
