#千万IP创科普# A must-see for those with elderly parents! The "nagging" can't stop!

People often say that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure

The daily chatter of the elderly

Maybe we can turn a deaf ear to it

When it comes to gas safety

These "nagging" must not stop!

This issue's safety tips:

Watch it with the elderly!

Don't leave without permission

As people age, their sense of smell begins to decline, and elderly people often find it difficult to smell the "burnt smell of a dry pot" or the "stinky smell" of natural gas at the first sight.

Important reminder:

Elderly people are not mobile, so it is advisable to arrange for someone to take care of them to prevent them from starting fires. If you really need to cook, please remind them not to leave the kitchen and open windows for ventilation, and to turn off the valve in time after using the gas to prevent accidents caused by gas out of control.

No objects hanging on the pipe

Many elderly people have the habit of hanging rags and items on pipes, which poses a great safety hazard and can easily cause pipe deformation and leakage over time.

Important reminder:

Please help the elderly clean the stove, range hood, gas pipes, stoves, etc. regularly. Be careful not to store flammable and explosive items such as flour, lighters, and toilet water around gas facilities, and keep the kitchen clean and tidy.

Do not exceed the expiration date of the equipment

Elderly people live frugally, and it is very easy for gas appliances to exceed their expiration date.

Important reminder:

The state stipulates that the service life of fuel-burning appliances is 8 years. After the expiration of the appliance, it must be replaced with a qualified appliance that meets the state regulations. Pay special attention to the prohibition of the use of obsolete fuel-burning appliances (such as direct-discharge water heaters) to avoid poisoning or explosion during use.

The device must be in good condition

To prevent gas leaks, relying on your nose alone is not enough. After all, there are always various smells gathered in home kitchens. Manual identification alone is prone to errors and cannot ensure real-time detection.

Important reminder:

Household gas alarms can monitor indoor gas concentrations in real time. When the set concentration is exceeded, it will sound an audible and visual alarm and link the emergency shut-off valve (if installed) to cut off the gas, effectively avoiding accidents. It is a "safety manager" for families with elderly people.

Users who have installed alarms please pay more attention to the working status of the alarms, complete the calibration task (once a year) on time, and ensure that the device is "always online" and functioning.

Pay more attention to pipe fittings

The gas connecting pipe is a "consumable part". Please help the elderly to check it more often to eliminate hidden dangers in gas use.

Important reminder:

The connecting equipment pipes must use special gas bellows. If you find that the valve is malfunctioning, the hose is aging or damaged, stop using it immediately and call 95158 for repair, and professionals will come to deal with it.
