LPG is heavier than air and pools near the floor, and it has a rotten-egg smell added to it. If you smell gas, do not switch lights or sockets, open windows, turn off the cylinder valve and leave. A gas leak detector near the cooker gives an early alarm, and a fire extinguisher is the second layer of safety.
Key takeaways
- Smell of rotten eggs means act now.
- Do not use switches or flames.
- Install a detector near the cooker, low down.
- Keep a fire extinguisher or blanket in the kitchen.
