How to prevent gas leakage in the catering industry?
Use gas stoves with flameout protection function: Using gas appliances with flameout protection function can automatically cut off the gas source after the flame is accidentally extinguished, effectively preventing gas leakage.
Keep ventilation and smoke exhaust smooth: The gas operation room should be well ventilated, and special flues should be set up for gas appliances and gas equipment. If the ventilation is not smooth, if a gas leak occurs, gas accumulation is likely to cause a gas accident.
Do not install, modify, or dismantle gas facilities without authorization: The installation of gas equipment and facilities is not standardized, which is likely to cause safety risks such as damage and leakage of gas facilities, affect the gas safety of users, and even cause accidents such as fire and explosion, endangering public safety.
Establish a gas safety management system and operating procedures: Unit gas users should establish and improve the safety management system and strengthen the training of gas safety knowledge and operating skills for operating and maintenance personnel. The safety operating procedures should cover the entire process of the unit’s production and operation activities. The safety operating procedures should clearly define the safety operation requirements, working environment requirements, work protection requirements, prohibited matters, emergency on-site disposal measures, etc.
Install combustible gas detectors: When the combustible gas alarm detects a certain concentration of gas, it will sound an alarm, and the shut-off valve will automatically shut off to protect gas safety. If the combustible gas alarm device is not installed or the installation position is incorrect, gas leaks will not be detected, resulting in safety hazards.
In addition, catering companies should also pay attention to:
How do residential users prevent gas leaks?
01 Regularly check whether the connectors, hoses and valves are intact.
02 Open windows in the kitchen frequently for ventilation to dilute the concentration of gas leakage and prevent explosions.
03 The service life of natural gas stoves is generally 8 years. If they are used beyond the expiration date, the seals inside the stoves will be poorly sealed due to aging, and there is also a risk of gas leakage. Therefore, everyone should also pay attention to replacing expired gas stoves in time.
04 When cooking at home, try to keep the fire close to you and watch the gas stove to avoid accidental flameout caused by soup overflow.
05 When residents decorate or renovate the kitchen, incorrect operation may damage gas equipment or pipelines. For example, hoses pass through walls and floors. Therefore, when the gas pipeline at home needs to be modified, be sure to contact the professional staff of the gas company to operate.
06 Install a gas alarm to prevent accidents.
