LPG cylinder safety is in your hands

Abu Dhabi - The campaign, which begins today and runs until August 29, will primarily target communities across the northern regions, where LPG cylinders are one of the main sources of cooking fuel.

Adnoc Distribution has launched a special safety campaign titled 'Safety: It's in Your Hands', to raise public awareness on the correct ways of transporting, handling and using Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders and their regulators.
The campaign, which begins today and runs until August 29, will primarily target communities across the northern regions, where LPG cylinders are one of the main sources of cooking fuel.
To be promoted through Adnoc Distribution's social media channels and some radio stations in the UAE, the awareness campaign will provide the public with practical and easy-to-remember tips on the proper acquisition, transportation, storage, usage and disposal of gas cylinders.
It will also feature innovative light-box branding at Adnoc Distribution's service stations across the northern regions that sell LPG cylinders, and distribute magnetic sticker giveaways for use as friendly reminders at home.
In a bid to avoid accidents at home, the campaign will inform users about the accurate safety method of transporting and handling the LPG cylinders. In addition, they will be informed of the correct way to instal the cylinders and the importance of storing them in an upright position and conducting regular inspections.
Speaking on the relevance of the campaign, Khalid Hadi, vice-president, marketing and corporate communication at ADNOC Distribution, said: "When handled correctly, LPG gas cylinders are a safe and wonderful convenience. Our campaign is designed to remind people, particularly housewives, maids and workers, about important do's and don'ts associated with gas cylinders."
