The National Petroleum Authority cautions the public against keeping cylinders indoors
The National Petroleum Authority is cautioning the public against keeping cylinders indoors,
saying it is extremely dangerous to do that.
According to the NPA, the naked eye cannot see gas in case of leakage, hence the need to keep
cylinders outside to avert a fire outbreak.
A member of the NPA Governing Board and Chairman of the Consumer Services sub-
committee, Kwami Sefa Kayi, who made the call at an LPG awareness and sensitisation lecture
at the Takoradi Technical University, noted that some people did not want to keep their cylinders
outside because of the fear that they would be stolen.
Mr. Sefa Kayi gave the assurance that the NPA would do everything to ensure the price of LPG
remains competitive and “soft on consumers.”
The lecture organized by the Corporate Affairs and Gas Directorates of the Authority was on the
theme: “Safe Use of LPG Protects Lives and Property.”

refrigerators.
According to him, the type of buildings where the use of aluminum and sliding glass windows
reduces the amount of air that circulates the rooms, it is important to have trees in and around the
rooms to reduce the heat.
