Gas safety rules - Jæren Gass AS

The gas safety rules

Never place gas containers in the basement or other underground spaces.
Make sure the gas canister is upright and not exposed to strong heat or sunlight. Place the gas canister outside the grill so you can easily shut off the gas.
Be on guard against leaks. Open flames, smoking or an electric spark can ignite the gas and cause it to explode.
Check the hose and connections for leaks regularly. You do this by brushing on concentrated soapy water. When you open the gas, soap bubbles will form where the leak is.
Only use hoses that are suitable for use with gas. Replace cracked or damaged hoses immediately. It is not permitted to use hoses that are longer than 1.5 meters. Use hose clamps to secure the hose.

Always have a lit match ready when you turn on the gas. Turn off the gas when you are not using it. Also remove the regulator if you will not be using the gas for a long time.
If a fire starts in the vicinity of the gas canister, turn off the gas by tilting the button on top of the regulator. If it is safe to do so, you should also move the container away from the fire.
Ensure that the gas appliance and container are in good condition. Do not attempt to repair damage to the gas container yourself. Leave it to your propane dealer to check and, if necessary, maintain gas appliances and gas systems.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using gas appliances and gas systems. Ask your dealer if you are in any doubt.
