Ensuring safety with proper gas cylinder handling

At Ogaz Zambia, safety is paramount. Proper handling and positioning of gas cylinders are essential to prevent accidents and ensure reliable performance.

Why Keep Cylinders Upright?

Cylinders are designed to operate safely in a vertical position.

Keeping cylinders upright prevents the liquid gas inside from escaping, which can cause dangerous leaks or pressure imbalances.

Upright positioning reduces the risk of valve damage or breakage during handling or transport.

It helps maintain the correct pressure and flow of gas during use.

Safe Handling Tips:

• Always store and use gas cylinders in a well-ventilated area, away from sources of heat and ignition.
• Secure cylinders firmly in an upright position to prevent tipping or falling.
• Avoid rolling or dragging cylinders; use proper trolleys or lifting equipment.
• Check for leaks regularly using soapy water around valves and connections — never use a flame.
• Ensure valves are fully closed when cylinders are not in use.

By following these guidelines, Ogaz Zambia customers can protect themselves, their property, and their communities.
