The majority of our country's population actively uses domestic gas, since it is carried out not only in apartments, but also in private houses. Emergencies often occur, especially when safety precautions are not followed. Rules for using gas in everyday life will help prevent various unpleasant situations. You just need to use them always.

Gas supply to houses

The use of gas for heating/water heating is possible due to the low price of the fossil fuel. After primary processing, it is cleaned of impurities and additives. Since the network of gas pipelines is developed, fuel can be obtained anywhere. Gas is used for:

• cooking;
• water heating;
• heating the room.

To cook food, gas stoves are used, which are conveniently connected and work smoothly. If there is no hot water, then you can create a heating system. In the absence central heating The house can be equipped with gas. By installing a boiler, you can independently regulate the temperature in the house. Whatever the purpose of the equipment, it requires correct operation and regular checks.

Responsibilities of the population

Every person must follow the rules for using gas at home. The Russian Federation regulates this area through laws. The population must know the rules for using gas. Regulatory authorities must issue instructions with recommendations for the operation of devices.

It is important to constantly monitor work gas equipment, chimneys, ventilation. Before turning on the gasified stove, you need to make sure that the gate is open. Regular cleaning of the chimney “pocket” is required. After using the equipment, you need to close the taps of the devices, and when installing cylinders, close the valves.

If there is no gas supply, then you need to turn off the burners, and then report it to the emergency service. If the equipment malfunctions, you must call specialists. If you smell gas, you need to turn off the device and ventilate the room. The emergency service is called by calling 04.

Necessary rules

Safety in the home is ensured by the rules for using gas at home. 86-P (law that came into force on April 26, 1990) contains the basic rules that allow you to properly operate the equipment. Inspection and repair of gas pipelines, according to this document, must be performed only by specialists who present a certificate. When the cylinders are installed, the room must be vacated. The fire should only be lit if there is no smell of gas.

Residents are responsible for prompt payment for services, the cost of which is set by the provider. In winter, you should regularly check the heads to ensure they do not freeze or become clogged. These basic rules for using gas in everyday life will help prevent many unfavorable situations.

What is prohibited?

The current rules for the use of gas at home state the need to carry out measures that are necessary for the proper operation of the equipment. However, there are actions prohibited for users:

• independent gasification, rearrangement, repair of equipment;
• performing redevelopment in a room where there are gas appliances, as well as changing the area of ​​rooms without coordination with the relevant authorities;
• making adjustments to the design of equipment, smoke systems, channels;
• disabling safety and regulation automation, as well as operating faulty devices;
• use of gas in the presence of violations in the density of masonry, plaster of stoves and chimneys.

What else can gas users not do on their own?

Rules for the safe use of gas at home require regular inspections and cleaning of the chimney and ventilation. Without this, it is prohibited to use the equipment. The devices cannot be used in rooms where the windows, blinds, or faulty ventilation are closed.

Equipment that is switched on should not be left unattended. Children should not use it themselves; adults should do this. Devices must be used strictly for their intended purpose. It is prohibited to dry laundry over the equipment. There is no need to open fire to detect leaks. The devices must not be damaged.

All these and other standards include rules for using gas in everyday life. 86-P dated April 26, 1990 (order of the VO “Rosstroygazifikatsiya” under the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR) allows you to determine actions in certain cases. For violation of the rules, administrative liability is provided. Instructions on the rules of using gas at home are carried out by service specialists. Residents are usually given instructions.

Rules for operating gas appliances

The rules for safe use of gas at home are extremely simple. Before turning on the stove, the room must be ventilated. The equipment taps must be closed, only then can the device be turned on.

You need to light a match, bring it to the burner, and open the switch. The gas should ignite throughout the entire burner. The flame is usually calm and bluish. If burner rings are used, they should be installed with the ribs facing up. No need to turn on high heat. If the cookware has a wide bottom, burner rings with high ribs are used.

After the contents of the container boil, the flame must be reduced. After preparing food, you need to carefully turn off the gas. Before using the oven, you should first open it for a while. The stove must be clean, otherwise carbon monoxide will form if the gas is not completely burned.

Responsibility

Violation of the rules for using gas at home is punishable. This was established by the State Duma with the help of a bill. Failure to comply with the rules entails administrative liability. The following actions are considered violations:

• failure to comply with safety requirements;
• improper use of gas, as well as inaction when equipment breaks down;
• use of equipment without a service agreement;
• repair of the device by a non-specialist;
• operation of equipment when its service life has passed;
• use of a device recognized as beyond repair;
• gas supply upon expiration of the device's service life.

For such acts, fines are provided: for citizens 500-3000 rubles, for officials - 2.5-5 thousand rubles, and for legal entities - 5-30 thousand rubles. Based on the violation, an employee of the State Housing Inspectorate draws up a protocol.

What to do if there is a gas leak?

The gas remains dangerous to human life and health. It not only poisons, but also explodes. Pure propane has no odor and therefore requires a special fragrance to recognize it. Careful handling of cylinders and stove is necessary.

Even if a leak has been detected, you must not:

• repair equipment yourself;
• tie ropes to pipes and do not use them for grounding;
• Do not leave operating devices unattended.

If there is a strong odor of gas in the room, it is necessary to immediately turn off its supply and then ventilate the room. Emergency services should be called. There is no need to light a fire or use other appliances.

Checking gas equipment

Gas appliances are considered dangerous and must be inspected regularly. Only a specialist can perform this work. Warranty service allows you to identify equipment malfunctions in a timely manner.

Gas appliances in multi-storey buildings there are 2 types:

• intra-house: taps and risers in the entrance;
• In-house: equipment in a residential area.

By law, the homeowner is responsible for the performance of gas appliances. Checks should be carried out regularly by specialized companies. This work is carried out on the basis of a concluded contract.

Responsibility for the quality of equipment operation is assigned to management companies. Instruments must be checked every year. The contract for the provision of such services is drawn up in in writing. Regulatory authorities issue rules for using gas in everyday life.

Check Features

Maintenance involves performing scheduled inspection equipment for suitability. In-house appliances are risers, taps and other elements of the system located in the entrances. Maintenance is performed by the management organization.

In-house equipment includes the property that is located in the residential premises. It could be heating boilers, water heaters, stoves, pipes. The maintenance agreement is drawn up by the owner of the apartment.

The document is a guarantee of security, as well as fulfillment necessary work for equipment inspection and repair. An agreement is concluded with companies that are subject to the following requirements:

• the company performs gas transportation and distribution work;
• has an agreement with the supplier;
• the company undergoes certification;
• has an emergency dispatch service.

The owner needs to have a maintenance document. This means that the initiator of the inspection can be either the owner of the premises or the management organization. Following these simple rules will extend the life of the equipment.

Natural gas is a great benefit for humans. It is convenient and economical. For decades, it has brought warmth and comfort to our homes and is a source of warmth and comfort for us. However, natural gas requires a careful and responsible attitude. To prevent gas from causing tragic consequences, it is necessary to take care of gas equipment and follow the rules for the safe use of gas in everyday life.

1.How to use gas appliances correctly?

Use only working gas equipment.
Watch the color of the flame; if it is orange, it means the device is faulty, you need to call the gas workers.
Do not leave operating gas stoves and water heaters unattended, and do not allow flames to be blown out or covered by liquids.
Do not allow small children or persons who cannot control their actions to use gas equipment.

Remember! In order for the gas to burn, a constant flow of air is necessary. When you light up gas stove(water heater), the window must always be open!
If the gas supply suddenly stops, immediately close the burner taps of gas appliances and notify the emergency gas service by calling “04” or 104 (for appliances mobile communications).

2. Why do you need to check traction?

Lack of draft in smoke and ventilation ducts can lead to poisoning by gas combustion products.
Before each use gas water heaters, other devices that discharge combustion products into chimneys, it is necessary to check the presence of draft in the chimney.
You cannot change the smoke and ventilation systems, seal up ventilation ducts, attach chimneys of gas-using equipment to ventilation ducts, brick up or seal “pockets” and hatches intended for cleaning chimneys.
You cannot install additional dampers without permission in chimneys and on flue pipes from water heaters.
Owners of individual residential buildings in winter time should periodically check the heads of chimneys in order to prevent them from freezing and clogging, as well as the occurrence of the “backdraft” effect, which often occurs in the autumn-winter period due to pressure drops.

Remember! In the absence of traction, the use of gas appliances is prohibited.

3. Why is it necessary to regularly maintain gas equipment?

For safe use of gas at home vital role Not only knowledge of the rules plays a role, but also the serviceability of the gas equipment being used. To prevent a tragic situation from happening, it is necessary to carry out periodic maintenance of indoor gas equipment (VKGO) and indoor gas equipment (VDGO).
To do this, each owner of gas appliances is required to enter into a maintenance agreement with a specialized organization. He can do this personally or by delegating his powers. management company(HOA, etc.).

4.What are the consequences of unauthorized work on gas networks?

As a result of unauthorized connection of gas equipment, there is a high probability of gas leakage, and as a result, an explosion/fire hazard. In addition, unqualified installation (of a water heater) can lead to hydrate blockage: water entering the gas distribution network, and interruptions in gas supply in a residential building. This, in turn, will require serious and expensive emergency restoration work, with the possible relocation of sections of the gas pipeline.

Remember! Perform unauthorized gasification of a house (apartment), rearrangement, replacement and repair of gas appliances, cylinders and shut-off valves categorically FORBIDDEN!

5.What does the law say?

Responsibility for the safe use of household gas appliances in apartments (households), as well as their maintenance in proper condition, rests with the owners and tenants of residential premises in accordance with Art. 210 Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Art. 30, 67 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. Violators of the Rules for ensuring the safe use and maintenance of indoor and intra-house gas equipment are liable in accordance with Article 9.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

6.What to do if a smell appears natural gas?

– Immediately stop using gas appliances;

– Turn off the taps on the appliances and in front of the appliances;

– Open the vents and windows to ventilate the room;

–Do not light an open fire, do not smoke, do not turn on or off electric lights and electrical appliances, do not use electric bells;

Call the emergency service by calling “04” or “104” (for mobile communication devices) from a non-gas-free room.

Document overview

Instructions for the safe use of gas to meet domestic needs have been approved.

Persons responsible for the safe use and maintenance of indoor gas equipment (VDGO) and indoor gas equipment (VKGO) have been identified.

In relation to VDGO in an apartment building (MD), these are persons who manage the BD, provide services and (or) perform work on the maintenance and repair of common property, and in the case of direct management of the BD by the owners of the premises in it - the owners of such premises or one of the owners or other a person who has authority certified by a power of attorney issued to him by all or a majority of the owners of the premises.

In relation to VDGO in households, these are the owners (users) of households.

In relation to VKGO - owners (users) of premises located in an apartment building in which such equipment is located.

The organization with which an agreement on the maintenance and repair of VDGO and (or) VKGO is concluded provides the listed responsible persons with initial and repeated (regular) instructions on the safe use of gas when meeting household needs.

Rules for the safe use of gas have been established; actions when a gas leak is detected; actions that should not be taken by responsible persons.

Of course, gasification in homes is unlikely to surprise anyone today (unless, of course, you have relatives in the Amazon jungle). But habit can also be bad.

There are two types of “home” gas: methane (the one that goes through the main pipe to your stove) and propane/butane (it is delivered in red cylinders). An ordinary person Not only will it not distinguish these gases, it will not even detect them - they have no odor. However, precisely so that their leak can be detected, a substance is added to the gas that has quite a bad smell. It is he who is associated with gas.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Methane is lighter than air and tends to rise.

Bottled gas is heavier - it accumulates at the bottom and penetrates under the floor if there are cracks.

If a cylinder leaks, e.g. country house where there are often cellars and underground floors, even if the leak is small, there is a risk that gas can accumulate and one day one small spark from the switch will be enough to cause a disaster.

If there is no electricity in your cellar, you can simply inhale the gas.

According to statistics, main reason all gas incidents are due to ordinary negligence and disregard for established safety standards. Therefore, in order to be considered a zealous owner, follow a few rules:

1. Before igniting and during combustion of gas appliances, ventilate the room by slightly opening a vent or window or turning on the forced ventilation system.

2. . Check the draft in the smoke channels before ignition, do this periodically during combustion.

3. No matter how trivial it may sound, do not leave switched on gas appliances unattended.

4. Do not use gas stoves for heating! Why - see the section " Carbon monoxide».

5. Do not construct, move or repair gas equipment yourself! This is very dangerous and can lead to an explosion, unless of course you are a gas service worker.

6. If long time there will be no residents in the building, it is better to take the cylinders outside the building and turn off the gas equipment. Even minimally leaking systems over long periods of time indoors can form explosive concentrations of gas with air!

And one more thing: if there is an accident on the highway and it is blocked, do not leave the valves open. Gas can be given at any time without warning, and you simply won’t notice. The consequences can be the most dire.

HOW TO DETECT A LEAK

Visually: Soap suspected leak points - most often these are joints in pipes and fittings. Where a bubble is inflated from soapy water, there is a leak;

By ear: in case of a strong leak, a characteristic hiss will tell you... at least where it is worth lathering to check;

By smell: the characteristic odor becomes stronger near the leak site. And the very fact of the appearance of a smell is a reason for carrying out the above-described measures.

And, of course, don’t even think about looking for a leak with a lighter!

IF A GAS LEAK HAS STILL OCCURRED

1. Don't use electrical appliances

Do not insert or remove plugs from sockets - any spark may cause an explosion. Don't do anything at all that could cause a spark or increase in temperature.

2. Call service “04” immediately

Better from neighbors or by mobile phone.

3. While waiting for the emergency signal, ventilate the apartment

Open the windows, create a draft that should blow away everyone present in the apartment except you. There shouldn't be any extra ones. Let them go and meet the gas workers. It’s better to turn off the intercom and bell (see point 1).

IF THE GAS IGNITES AT THE LEAK POINT

If it is possible to turn off the supply before the leak occurs, turn it off and everything will go out. If not, under no circumstances should you use mascara! At most, you can try to remove flammable objects from the area affected by the flame. But in in this case a fire is less dangerous than an open gas leak. The consequences of the explosion will be enormous - there have been cases when half a house was destroyed due to a gas leak. Therefore, take all your people from the apartment and run yourself, calling the emergency gas service on the run and fire department by phone 112.

With a balloon everything is, of course, simpler. But the principles are absolutely the same.

If there is a leak from the cylinder, disconnect it from the fittings (if there is nothing, cut it off rubber hose) and take the cylinder outside. Be sure to take an assistant. In order not to drop it, it is fraught with at least ignition. Call the emergency services on 112, and if the cylinder is not working properly, ask them for a conclusion in order to exchange it for a new one.

If gas suddenly catches fire at the site of a leak from a cylinder, try calling the fire department by calling 112, wrapping your hands in a wet towel and turning off the valve. If the flame is small, throw the same wet towel over the gushing area, extinguish the flame, take the cylinder outside and wait for the emergency crew to arrive.

If the flame is large, you should not extinguish it, so as not to let gas into the room - an explosion is possible.

However, no matter what decision you make - to run or to put out the fire - you must act quickly. Otherwise, the balloon will heat up and explode in any case.

In addition to the explosiveness of the gas, there is another important aspect - its toxic effect on the body. The so-called carbon monoxide plays an important role in this process.

If your apartment has a gas water heater, you simply must know everything about it.

CARBON MONOXIDE

Carbon monoxide - carbon monoxide (CO) - is a compound familiar from school. And it is extremely dangerous also because everyday life There are too many options for its formation. In most cases, they are all related to combustion. CO is one of the products of incomplete combustion of any substance. And, unlike household gas, it cannot be noticed without special devices- Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless.

When almost all types of fuel burn under conditions of oxygen deficiency, CO begins to actively form. Therefore, in ovens and household geysers with poor ventilation, the formation of this poison is inevitable. If the damper is closed prematurely or too tightly, the room will be dangerous to be in.

WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE DANGEROUS?

Inhaling carbon monoxide is equivalent to having your veins slit. No, you, in the strict sense, do not lose blood. However, it loses its main property - to deliver oxygen to the tissues. Carbon monoxide tightly binds to hemoglobin and makes it impossible for an oxygen molecule to attach to it. So with each breath, the efficiency of the blood decreases. The first to suffer from oxygen starvation is the brain, which will not be able to control the body. And then - death.

FIRST AID FOR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

If you or someone close to you has a stupid headache, dizziness, vomiting, chest pain, confusion, lack of coordination, as well as bright red or bluish skin - all signs of poisoning are evident.

The victim needs to be moved to a well-ventilated area (or better yet, outside); do not force him to walk on his own. And call an ambulance immediately. Provide him with the opportunity to breathe easily and calmness. Do not give alcohol under any circumstances - this will cause even greater toxicity.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations warns - be careful with household gas, follow all requirements for the safe operation of gas appliances. To avoid accidents when operating gas appliances, experts recommend following following rules and recommendations:

You should purchase gas cylinders and gas equipment only from specialized organizations that have certificates for the sale of these products. After all, responsibility for safe operation operating gas appliances and their maintenance in proper condition are the responsibility of their owners. Never buy gas appliances, including gas cylinders, from strangers.

An annual inspection of gas equipment by specialists is mandatory.

Before opening the gas valve on the stove, hold a lit match to the burner.

Remember that gas mixed with air is explosive and fire hazard!

Sources of ignition of the mixture can be: open fire (matches, cigarettes, etc.), electric spark, which occurs when turning electrical appliances on and off. To avoid poisoning, it is necessary to check the draft before ignition, immediately after turning on gas appliances and during their operation, monitor the serviceability of the ventilation ducts, and constantly ventilate the room, especially before going to bed.

It is advisable to place gas cylinders (working and spare) for household gas appliances outside buildings (in extensions, ground and basement floors, cabinets or under covers covering top part cylinders or reducer) at a blind wall at a distance of no closer than 5 m from the entrances to the building. Extensions must be made of non-combustible materials.

Extensions and cabinets for gas cylinders must be locked to prevent access by children and unauthorized persons and have blinds for ventilation.

When using gas at home, it is prohibited:

Tie ropes to gas pipelines (this violates the density threaded connections, there may be a gas leak and, as a result, an explosion); dry clothes and hair over a lit stove;

unauthorized reinstallation and repair of gas appliances, cylinders, fittings; leave operating gas appliances unattended;

allow preschool children and persons not allowed to use gas appliances who know the rules their safe use;

use open fire to detect gas leaks (only soap emulsion should be used for this);

install the pressure regulator without an O-ring or gasket;

bend and twist the rubber-fabric sleeve (hose), allow damage to the outer layer of the sleeve (cuts, cracks, kinks), since gas leakage occurs in these places; place flammable materials and liquids near the operating stove; use rooms where gas appliances are installed for sleep and rest; use gas and gas stoves for heating the room;

attach parts of gas fittings using a spark-producing tool; store spare cylinders.

When an underground gas pipeline leaks, gas can penetrate through loose soil or cracks in the foundation into the basement of a residential building. If you detect the smell of gas, it is necessary to fence off the entrance to the basement, make sure that there is no smoking or lighting a fire nearby, ensure ventilation of the basement and entrance and call the emergency service.

If gas equipment malfunctions or if you smell gas, you should immediately stop using the device, turn off the taps on the stove and the valve on the cylinder or the flag on the reducer, call the emergency service by calling “04” and thoroughly ventilate the room. At this time, do not use open fire, do not turn on or off electrical appliances and electric lighting.

The Department of Supervisory Activities of the Leningrad District reminds the population of fire safety measures when using gas equipment.

75% of the total fires occurring in the area occur in residential buildings. Fires destroy household property and cause material damage to the state and owners. People are dying.

Remember that you are responsible for the serviceability of gas equipment inside the apartment. When selling any gas apparatus must be supplied with instructions for use. The person installing the device must provide you with a document certifying that the work was carried out in accordance with technical standards and safety rules. Flexible hoses should be as short as possible (no more than 2m). Make sure they fit tightly onto the faucet. The maximum service life of a flexible hose is four years (the limit may be marked on the hose), but caution requires replacing it every two years. The hose clamp should provide a complete seal, but do not clamp too tightly as this may rupture the hose and cause a gas leak. Do not forget that gas used in everyday life is explosive, therefore, when using gas appliances, you must follow fire safety rules!

Methods for detecting gas leaks

By eye. On the surface of soapy water poured lengthwise gas pipes, bubbles form at the leak points.

By ear. In the event of a severe leak, the gas escapes with a whistle.

By smell. The characteristic odor that the gas gives off becomes stronger near the leak. Never look for a gas leak using an open flame, such as a burning match. Try to stop the gas supply if possible. Be sure to call the fire department.

When using gas appliances at home, the following safety precautions should be taken:

Constantly check the draft, keep the windows open in rooms where gas appliances are installed. Burning gas burns oxygen; Therefore, it is necessary that constant ventilation is provided in the room. Don't shut up ventilation holes in winter.

Do not leave operating gas appliances unattended unless they have appropriate automation and are not designed for continuous operation.

Do not use gas stoves for heating, and do not use rooms where gas appliances are installed for sleeping and resting.

At the end of using gas, close the taps on gas appliances, the valves in front of them, and when using cylinders, close the cylinder valves;

Regularly check the tightness of hoses and threaded connections on pipes using soap foam;

Keep your gas stove clean;

When leaving the apartment, turn off the gas on the gas pipeline or tighten the valve on the gas cylinder.

Remember, gas leaks usually occur as a result of a breakdown in the hose connecting the gas pipeline to the stove, depressurization of threaded connections, forgetfulness of people who leave valves open, children’s pranks, or water pouring over the edge of a cookware dousing the flame.

What to do in case of a gas leak

Avoid any actions that cause sparks and increase the room temperature. Do not touch electrical switches - this may also cause a spark. Ensure intensive ventilation of the room by opening all windows. Remove everyone present. Stop the gas supply if possible. Call a specialist.

Gas caught fire at the leak: as long as the gas burns, there is no danger of explosion. Never blow out the flame, as this can lead to disaster. Gas and air form an explosive mixture, and in the presence of an ignition source (overheated metal, burning embers, sparks, electric arc, etc.) an explosion is inevitable. Make sure that objects located near the fire do not catch fire. Leaking compressed gas cylinder.

Typically, a leak occurs at the junction of the cylinder with flexible hose. In case of such damage, you can temporarily cover the area with a wet cloth. If you can, take the cylinder outside. If this is not possible for you, ventilate the room well. Avoid any activities that cause an increase in air temperature. Return the cylinder to the supplier immediately. One of the reasons for the fire is a violation of safety rules when using a gas stove and risers on the first floors. So, one of the family members turns on the gas stove, places containers on it for cooking or heating food and is distracted by other matters for a long time, forgetting that hot cooking utensils, burnt food, rapidly boiling water can create a fire hazard in apartment. To avoid fire when using gas appliances, we strongly recommend that you remember and follow the practical rules:

Particular attention must be paid to the use of gas risers on the first floors in summer time: careless tenants, due to inexperience or deliberately block the apartment during their absence gas taps in the gas parking lot on the first floor, which is very dangerous, because it blocks the entire gas system in the house, which is fraught with the most serious consequences, including fire and death.

In case of danger, if residents are absent for a long time, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Emergency Situations will be involved in opening the apartments.

Fire on a compressed gas cylinder. Try turning off the tap by wrapping your hands in a wet rag. If this is not possible (there is a fire on the gasket, the tap has become deformed as a result of heating), do not blow out the flame, as this may lead to an explosion. Call the fire department immediately and try to prevent objects located near the fire from igniting. Never move a compressed gas cylinder until it has cooled down: the slightest shock may cause it to explode.

PROHIBITED:

Allow preschool children, people who do not control their actions and do not know the rules for using these appliances to use gas appliances.

Store empty and filled cylinders with liquefied gases in rooms and basements. Have in a gasified room more than one cylinder with a capacity of 50 (55) liters or two cylinders of 27 liters (one of them is a spare one).

Place the cylinders against the furnace doors of the stoves at a distance of less than 2 m from them. Use gas: if gas appliances malfunction, there is no draft, a gas leak is detected, without checking the condition of the smoke and ventilation ducts.

Any unauthorized actions with gas equipment, gasification without the appropriate permits, and the involvement of random persons to repair and rearrange gas appliances are prohibited. All types of work related to gas must be performed only by specialized organizations.

THE POPULATION USING GAS IN THE HOME IS REQUIRED TO:

Be trained in the safe use of gas at the gas operating organization, have and follow the operating instructions for the devices.

Monitor the normal operation of gas appliances, chimneys and ventilation, check the draft before turning on and during operation of gas appliances with combustion products discharged into the chimney. Before using a gasified oven, check that the damper is fully open. Periodically clean the chimney “pocket”.

After finishing using gas, close the taps on gas appliances and in front of them, and when placing cylinders inside kitchens, additionally close the valves on the cylinders. If gas equipment malfunctions, call gas company workers. If the gas supply suddenly stops, immediately close the burner taps of gas appliances and notify the gas service by phone 04

Before entering basements and cellars, before turning on the lights and lighting the fire, make sure there is no smell of gas.

If you detect the smell of gas in the basement, entrance, in the yard, on the street: inform others about the precautions; report to the gas service by phone 04 from a non-gas-free place; take measures to remove people from the polluted environment, prevent the switching on and off of electric lighting, the appearance of open flames and sparks; Before the emergency team arrives, organize ventilation of the room. Be careful with gas! Your forgetfulness and inattention can cause trouble for you, your loved ones and neighbors. Only skillful handling of gas appliances and knowledge of the rules for using gas will help you avoid accidents.
