Some Basic Safety Reminders

• "Safety Rules" - The Top 20 List
• Always Check for Leaks.
• "I Think I Smell Gas."
• When Digging Out from Winter Storms.
• Information about Carbon Monoxide (CO).
• Camping heaters should be used in a Well Ventilated area.
• Ensure a regulator is - or regulators are - Properly Installed.
• Before using any fuel-burning appliance, check for spider webs, dust and any other tiny bits of debris that can close burner ports and create a CO hazard or fire.
• Read the manufacturer's labels, service instructions and operating directions carefully. Even if you have used an appliance before, make sure you know what it is intended to do - and how to operate the appliance.
• When buying new equipment, always look for the CSA International, Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada (UIC), Canadian Gas Association (CGA) and the ETL (Warnock Hersey) symbol and others to ensure the product has been tested and complies with Canadian safety standards.
• Many cottages and hunting camp cabins are equipped with propane appliances. If you have a propane refrigerator, make sure it is being serviced annually by a certified propane technician. Servicing is important because lethal quantities of Carbon Monoxide (CO) can be produced by a refrigerator flame that is improperly adjusted or partially blocked by dirt.
• Propane connections are unique. Use the Proper Cylinder and Fittings for the Job.
• Properly dispose of outdated propane cylinders.
