Rules for using gas in everyday life. Household gas appliances: rules of operation and use Rules for the safe use of gas at home

The Ministry of Emergency Situations warns - be careful with household gas, follow all requirements for the safe operation of gas appliances. To avoid accidents when operating gas appliances, experts recommend following following rules and recommendations:

You should purchase gas cylinders and gas equipment only from specialized organizations that have certificates for the sale of these products. After all, responsibility for safe operation operating gas appliances and their maintenance in proper condition are the responsibility of their owners. Never buy gas appliances, including gas cylinders, from unauthorized persons.

Annual inspection required gas equipment specialists.

Before opening the gas valve on the stove, hold a lit match to the burner.

Remember that gas mixed with air is explosive and fire hazard!

Sources of ignition of the mixture can be: open fire (matches, cigarettes, etc.), an electric spark that occurs when turning electrical appliances on and off. To avoid poisoning, it is necessary to check the draft before ignition, immediately after turning on gas appliances and during their operation, monitor the serviceability of the ventilation ducts, and constantly ventilate the room, especially before going to bed.

It is advisable to place gas cylinders (working and spare) for household gas appliances outside buildings (in extensions, ground and basement floors, cabinets or under covers covering top part cylinders or reducer) at a blind wall at a distance of no closer than 5 m from the entrances to the building. Extensions must be made of non-combustible materials.

Extensions and cabinets for gas cylinders must be locked to prevent access to them by children and unauthorized persons and have blinds for ventilation.

When using gas at home, it is prohibited:

Tie ropes to gas pipelines (this violates the density threaded connections, there may be a gas leak and, as a result, an explosion); dry clothes and hair over a lit stove;

unauthorized reinstallation and repair of gas appliances, cylinders, fittings; leave operating gas appliances unattended;

allow children to use gas appliances preschool age and persons not who know the rules their safe use;

use open fire to detect gas leaks (only soap emulsion should be used for this);

install the pressure regulator without an O-ring or gasket;

bend and twist the rubber-fabric sleeve (hose), allowing damage to the outer layer of the sleeve (cuts, cracks, kinks), since gas leakage occurs in these places; place flammable materials and liquids near the operating stove; use rooms where gas appliances are installed for sleep and rest; use gas and gas stoves for heating the room;

attach parts of gas fittings using a spark-producing tool; store spare cylinders.

When an underground gas pipeline leaks, gas can penetrate through loose soil or cracks in the foundation into the basement of a residential building. If you detect the smell of gas, it is necessary to fence off the entrance to the basement, make sure that there is no smoking or lighting a fire nearby, ensure ventilation of the basement, entrance and call emergency service.

If gas equipment malfunctions or if you smell gas, you should immediately stop using the device, turn off the taps on the stove and the valve on the cylinder or the flag on the reducer, call the emergency service by calling “04” and thoroughly ventilate the room. At this time, do not use open fire, do not turn on or off electrical appliances and electric lighting.

The Department of Supervisory Activities of the Leningrad District reminds the population of the measures fire safety when using gas equipment.

75% of fires of the total number occurring in the region occur in residential buildings. Fires destroy household property and cause material damage to the state and owners. People are dying.

Remember that you are responsible for the serviceability of gas equipment inside the apartment. When selling any gas apparatus must be supplied with instructions for use. The person installing the device must provide you with a document certifying that the work was carried out in accordance with technical standards and safety regulations. Flexible hoses should be as short as possible (no more than 2m). Make sure they fit tightly onto the faucet. The maximum service life of a flexible hose is four years (the limit may be marked on the hose), but caution requires replacing it every two years. The hose clamp should provide a complete seal, but do not clamp too tightly as this may rupture the hose and cause a gas leak. Do not forget that gas used in everyday life is explosive, therefore, when using gas appliances, you must follow fire safety rules!

Methods for detecting gas leaks

Approximately. Bubbles form on the surface of soapy water poured along gas pipes at leakage points.

Aurally. In the event of a severe leak, the gas escapes with a whistle.

By smell. The characteristic odor that the gas gives off becomes stronger near the leak. Never look for a gas leak using open flame, for example, a burning match. Try to stop the gas supply if possible. Be sure to call the fire department.

When using gas appliances at home, the following safety precautions should be taken:

Constantly check the draft, keep the windows open in rooms where gas appliances are installed. Burning gas burns oxygen; Therefore, it is necessary that constant ventilation is provided in the room. Do not plug the vents in winter.

Do not leave operating gas appliances unattended unless they have appropriate automation and are not designed for continuous work.

Do not use gas stoves for heating, and do not use rooms where gas appliances are installed for sleeping and resting.

At the end of using gas, close the taps on gas appliances, the valves in front of them, and when using cylinders, close the cylinder valves;

Regularly check the tightness of hoses and threaded connections on pipes using soap foam;

Keep your gas stove clean;

When leaving the apartment, turn off the gas on the gas pipeline or tighten the valve on the gas cylinder.

Remember, gas leaks usually occur as a result of a breakdown in the hose connecting the gas pipeline to the stove, depressurization of threaded connections, forgetfulness of people who leave valves open, children's pranks, or water pouring over the edge of a cookware dousing the flame.

What to do in case of a gas leak

Avoid any actions that cause sparks and increase the room temperature. Do not touch electrical switches - this may also cause a spark. Ensure intensive ventilation of the room by opening all windows. Remove everyone present. Stop the gas supply if possible. Call a specialist.

Gas caught fire at the leak: as long as the gas burns, there is no danger of explosion. Never blow out the flame, as this can lead to disaster. Gas and air form an explosive mixture, and in the presence of an ignition source (overheated metal, burning embers, sparks, electric arc, etc.) an explosion is inevitable. Make sure that objects located near the fire do not catch fire. Leakage from the cylinder compressed gas.

Typically, a leak occurs at the connection between the cylinder and the flexible hose. In case of such damage, you can temporarily cover the area with a wet cloth. If you can, take the cylinder outside. If this is not possible for you, ventilate the room well. Avoid any activities that cause an increase in air temperature. Return the cylinder to the supplier immediately. One of the reasons for the fire is a violation of safety rules when using a gas stove and risers on the first floors. So, one of the family members turns on the gas stove, places containers on it for cooking or heating food and is distracted by other matters for a long time, forgetting that hot cooking utensils, burnt food, rapidly boiling water can create a fire hazard in apartment. To avoid fire when using gas appliances, we strongly recommend that you remember and follow the practical rules:

Particular attention must be paid to the use of gas risers on the first floors in summer time: careless residents, due to inexperience or deliberately, turn off the gas taps in the gas station on the first floor while they are away from the apartment, which is very dangerous, because this shuts off the entire gas system in the house, which is fraught with the most serious consequences, including fire and death.

In case of danger, if residents are absent for a long time, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Emergency Situations will be involved in opening the apartments.

Fire on a compressed gas cylinder. Try turning off the tap by wrapping your hands in a wet rag. If this is not possible (there is a fire on the gasket, the tap has become deformed due to heat), do not blow out the flame, as this may lead to an explosion. Call the fire department immediately and try to prevent objects located near the fire from igniting. Never move a compressed gas cylinder until it has cooled down: the slightest shock may cause it to explode.

PROHIBITED:

Allow preschool children and persons who do not control their actions and do not know the rules for using these appliances to use gas appliances.

Store empty and filled cylinders with liquefied gases in rooms and basements. Have in a gasified room more than one cylinder with a capacity of 50 (55) liters or two cylinders of 27 liters (one of them is a spare one).

Place the cylinders against the furnace doors of the stoves at a distance of less than 2 m from them. Use gas: if gas appliances malfunction, there is no draft, a gas leak is detected, without checking the condition of the smoke and ventilation ducts.

Any unauthorized actions with gas equipment, gasification without the appropriate permits, and the involvement of random persons to repair and rearrange gas appliances are prohibited. All types of work related to gas must be performed only by specialized organizations.

THE POPULATION USING GAS IN THE HOME IS REQUIRED TO:

Be trained on the safe use of gas at the gas operating organization, have and follow the operating instructions for the devices.

Follow normal operation gas appliances, chimneys and ventilation, check the draft before turning on and during operation of gas appliances with combustion products discharged into the chimney. Before using a gasified oven, check that the damper is fully open. Periodically clean the chimney “pocket”.

At the end of using gas, close the taps on gas appliances and in front of them, and when placing cylinders inside kitchens, additionally close the valves on the cylinders. If gas equipment malfunctions, call gas company workers. If the gas supply suddenly stops, immediately close the burner taps of gas appliances and notify the gas service by phone 04

Before entering basements and cellars, before turning on the lights and lighting the fire, make sure there is no smell of gas.

If you detect the smell of gas in the basement, entrance, in the yard, on the street: inform others about the precautions; report to the gas service by phone 04 from a non-gas-free place; take measures to remove people from the polluted environment, prevent the switching on and off of electric lighting, the appearance of open flames and sparks; Before the emergency team arrives, organize ventilation of the room. Be careful with gas! Your forgetfulness and inattention can cause trouble for you, your loved ones and neighbors. Only skillful handling of gas appliances and knowledge of the rules for using gas will help you avoid accidents.

Press service of the Office for the Southern Administrative District

Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for Moscow

Household gas is not only a benefit for humans, but also a source increased danger. There are two types used in everyday life natural gas: main, which enters houses through pipes, and liquefied, sold in cylinders. A leak domestic gas may cause poisoning or explosion. Therefore, in order to ensure your safety and not expose yourself and the lives of those around you to mortal danger, remember and follow the rules for using gas and household gas appliances.

General rules for using gas, gas appliances and equipment:

Allow only qualified specialists to install, repair and inspect gas equipment;

Don't tie it to gas pipes ropes, equipment and cranes and do not dry things;

When taking readings from a household gas meter, you must not illuminate the dials with fire;

Do not leave operating gas appliances unattended or overnight;

Do not turn the handle of the gas tap with keys or pliers, or knock on burners, taps and meters with heavy objects;

Do not use gasified stoves and geysers with low draft in the chimney;

Keep children away from gas equipment;

Do not use rooms containing gas appliances for rest or sleep;

Follow the following sequence of switching on gas appliances: first light a match, and then supply gas;

For greater safety, make sure that household natural gas burns quietly, without gaps in the flame, which lead not only to the accumulation of carbon monoxide in the room, but also to damage to the burner devices. The flame should be violet-blue in color, without a yellowish or orange tint.

An impressive proportion of household gas explosions and fires in residential buildings are a consequence of neglect of safety, ignorance of basic rules for using gas and negligence in handling liquefied gas cylinders. To avoid household gas explosions and fires from using liquefied gas, remember the following rules:

Store the liquefied gas cylinder exclusively in an upright position in a ventilated area;

Spare filled and empty gas cylinders cannot be stored even temporarily in residential premises, as well as in evacuation passages in case of fire;

The gas cylinder can be installed in the house where the appropriate appliances are installed, as well as on the street. At the same time, in a gasified room you can keep only one cylinder of up to 55 liters or two of no more than 27 liters each. Inside the house gas cylinder located a meter from the stove, at least a meter from heating batteries and at least two meters from the stove door;

If the gas cylinder is faulty, do not repair it yourself, but take it to a workshop;

Before replacing a gas cylinder, make sure that the valves for the full and used cylinders are tightly closed. After replacement, for greater safety, apply soapy water to all connections and make sure they are tight;

Do not replace the gas cylinder if there is a flame in the room and electrical appliances are turned on;

When you finish working with gas, do not forget to close the cylinder tap.

When using household gas stoves, follow the safety rules given above and the following tips:

Before using a new gas stove, carefully read the manufacturer's instructions;

To connect the cylinder to the stove, use a special rubber hose with markings. The hose must be secured using safety clamps. Its length should be no more than one meter. Do not allow the gas hose to be pinched or stretched;

Each time before use oven ventilate it by leaving the door open for a few minutes;

Use special rings for burners with high fins when heating large, wide-bottomed pans on the stove. They increase the flow of necessary air for combustion and promote the outflow of combustion products;

Do not remove the burners gas stove and do not place dishes directly on the burner;

Do not leave the gas stove unattended.

Do not use the electric ignition of the stove if the burners are removed.

Don't flood work surface slabs with liquids.

Reduce the flame after the contents of the pan boil. This will prevent the burners from flooding with food, and also reduce wasteful gas consumption, thereby saving money;

Keep your gas stove clean. When it is contaminated with food, the gas does not burn completely and releases carbon monoxide. Before maintaining the gas stove, disconnect it from the power supply. It is advisable to wash the burners, their nozzles and other parts of the stove at least once a month with soap or weak soda solution;

Do not use the stove to heat the room;

Do not dry clothes in the oven or over gas stove burners.

If you smell gas in the room:

If there is a domestic gas leak, turn off the burners kitchen stove and a valve on the gas supply pipe;

If there is a domestic gas leak, do not turn on the lights or electrical appliances under any circumstances, unplug the phone from the socket, do not light candles or matches, do not go into other rooms where there is an open fire;

The gas-contaminated room must be ventilated and an emergency gas service must be called by telephone.

If you still smell gas after ventilating the room, it is possible that the domestic gas leak is still occurring. Therefore, you need to get people out of the house, warn neighbors and wait for the emergency gas service to arrive outside.

First aid for household gas poisoning:

Immediately remove a person suffering from household gas poisoning to fresh air;

If the person is breathing irregularly or not at all, give artificial respiration;

Do not allow someone who has been gassed to eat;

Call an ambulance or take him to a medical center.

In conclusion, I would like to remind you that violation of the rules for using gas can lead to an explosion of household gas, which entails the collapse of part or the entire building, fires, serious injuries and death. Therefore, people who violate them are liable under Article 94 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Article 95 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations. The safety of you, your loved ones and neighbors depends on your correct and timely compliance with the rules for using household gas and gas appliances.

Of course, gasification in homes is unlikely to surprise anyone today (unless, of course, you have relatives in the Amazon jungle). But habit can also be bad.

There are two types of “home” gas: methane (the one that goes through the main pipe to your stove) and propane/butane (it is delivered in red cylinders). A common person Not only will it not distinguish these gases, it will not even detect them - they have no odor. However, precisely so that their leak can be detected, a substance is added to the gas that has quite a bad smell. It is he who is associated with gas.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Methane is lighter than air and tends to rise.

Bottled gas is heavier - it accumulates at the bottom and penetrates under the floor if there are cracks.

If a cylinder leaks, e.g. country house where there are often cellars and underground floors, even if the leak is small, there is a risk that gas can accumulate and one day one small spark from the switch will be enough to cause a disaster.

If there is no electricity in your cellar, you can simply inhale the gas.

According to statistics, main reason all gas incidents are due to simple negligence and disregard for established safety standards. Therefore, in order to be considered a zealous owner, follow a few rules:

1. Before igniting and during combustion of gas appliances, ventilate the room by slightly opening a vent or window or turning on the forced ventilation system.

2. . Check the draft in the smoke channels before ignition, do this periodically during combustion.

3. No matter how trivial it may sound, do not leave switched on gas appliances unattended.

4. Do not use gas stoves for heating! Why - see the section " Carbon monoxide».

5. Do not construct, carry or repair gas equipment yourself! This is very dangerous and can lead to an explosion, unless of course you are a gas service worker.

6. If there are no residents in the building for a long time, it is better to take the cylinders outside the building and turn off the gas equipment. Even minimally leaking systems can form explosive concentrations of gas and air over a long period of time in enclosed spaces!

And one more thing: if there is an accident on the highway and it is blocked, do not leave the valves open. Gas can be given at any time without warning, and you simply won’t notice. The consequences can be the most dire.

HOW TO DETECT A LEAK

Visually: Soap suspected leak locations - most often these are joints in pipes and fittings. Where a bubble is inflated from soapy water, there is a leak;

Aurally: in case of a strong leak, a characteristic hiss will tell you... at least where it is worth lathering to check;

By smell: the characteristic odor becomes stronger near the leak site. And the very fact of the appearance of a smell is a reason for carrying out the above-described measures.

And, of course, don’t even think about looking for a leak with a lighter!

IF A GAS LEAK HAS STILL OCCURRED

1. Don't use electrical appliances

Do not insert or remove plugs from sockets - any spark may cause an explosion. Don't do anything at all that could cause a spark or increase in temperature.

2. Call service “04” immediately

Better from neighbors or by mobile phone.

3. While waiting for the emergency signal, ventilate the apartment

Open the windows, create a draft that should blow away everyone present in the apartment except you. There shouldn't be any extra ones. Let them go and meet the gas workers. It’s better to turn off the intercom and bell (see point 1).

IF THE GAS IGNITES AT THE LEAK POINT

If it is possible to shut off the supply ahead of place If there are any leaks, shut them off and everything will go out. If not, under no circumstances should you use mascara! At most, you can try to remove flammable objects from the area affected by the flame. But in this case, a fire is less dangerous than an open gas leak. The consequences of the explosion will be enormous - there have been cases when half a house was destroyed due to a gas leak. Therefore, take all your people out of the apartment and run yourself, calling the emergency gas service on the run and fire department by phone 112.

With a balloon everything is, of course, simpler. But the principles are absolutely the same.

If there is a leak from the cylinder, disconnect it from the fittings (if there is nothing, cut off the rubber hose) and take the cylinder outside. Be sure to take an assistant. In order not to drop it, it is fraught with at least ignition. Call the emergency services on 112, and if the cylinder is not working properly, ask them for a conclusion in order to exchange it for a new one.

If gas suddenly catches fire at the site of a leak from a cylinder, try calling the fire department by calling 112, wrapping your hands in a wet towel and turning off the valve. If the flame is small, throw the same wet towel over the gushing area, extinguish the flame, take the cylinder outside and wait for the emergency crew to arrive.

If the flame is large, you should not put it out, so as not to let gas into the room - an explosion is possible.

However, no matter what decision you make - to run or to put out the fire - you must act quickly. Otherwise, the balloon will heat up and explode in any case.

In addition to the explosiveness of the gas, there is another important aspect - its toxic effect on the body. The so-called carbon monoxide plays an important role in this process.

If your apartment has a gas water heater, you simply must know everything about it.

CARBON MONOXIDE

Carbon monoxide - carbon monoxide (CO) - is a compound familiar from school. And it is extremely dangerous also because Everyday life There are too many options for its formation. In most cases, they are all related to combustion. CO is one of the products of incomplete combustion of any substance. And, unlike household gas, it cannot be noticed without special devices- Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless.

When burning almost all types of fuel in conditions of lack of oxygen, CO begins to actively form. Therefore, in ovens and household geysers with poor ventilation, the formation of this poison is inevitable. If the damper is closed prematurely or too tightly, the room will be dangerous to be in.

WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE DANGEROUS?

Inhaling carbon monoxide is equivalent to having your veins slit. No, you, in the strict sense, do not lose blood. However, it loses its main property - to deliver oxygen to the tissues. Carbon monoxide tightly binds to hemoglobin and makes it impossible for an oxygen molecule to attach to it. So with each breath, the efficiency of the blood decreases. The first to suffer from oxygen starvation is the brain, which will not be able to control the body. And then - death.

FIRST AID FOR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

If you or someone close to you has a stupid headache, dizziness, vomiting, chest pain, confusion, lack of coordination, as well as bright red or bluish skin - all signs of poisoning are evident.

The victim needs to be moved to a well-ventilated area (or better yet, outside); do not force him to walk on his own. And call an ambulance immediately. Provide him with the opportunity to breathe easily and calmness. Do not give alcohol under any circumstances - this will cause even greater toxicity.

Natural gas is a great benefit for humans. It is convenient and economical. For decades, it has brought warmth and comfort to our homes and is a source of warmth and comfort for us. However, natural gas requires a careful and responsible attitude. To prevent gas from causing tragic consequences, it is necessary to take care of gas equipment and follow the rules for the safe use of gas in everyday life.

1.How to use gas appliances correctly?

Use only working gas equipment.
Watch the color of the flame; if it is orange, it means the device is faulty, you need to call the gas workers.
Do not leave operating gas stoves and water heaters unattended, and do not allow flames to be blown out or covered by liquids.
Do not allow small children or persons who cannot control their actions to use gas equipment.

Remember! In order for the gas to burn, a constant flow of air is necessary. When you light a gas stove (water heater), the window should always be open!
If the gas supply suddenly stops, immediately close the burner taps of gas appliances and notify the emergency gas service by calling “04” or 104 (for appliances mobile communications).

2. Why do you need to check traction?

Lack of draft in smoke and ventilation ducts can lead to poisoning by gas combustion products.
Before each use gas water heaters, other devices that discharge combustion products into chimneys, it is necessary to check the presence of draft in the chimney.
You cannot change the smoke and ventilation systems, seal up ventilation ducts, attach chimneys of gas-using equipment to ventilation ducts, brick up or seal “pockets” and hatches intended for cleaning chimneys.
You cannot install additional dampers without permission in chimneys and on flue pipes from water heaters.
Owners of individual residential buildings in winter time must periodically check the heads of chimneys in order to prevent them from freezing and blocking, as well as the occurrence of the “ reverse thrust", often occurring in the autumn-winter period due to pressure drops.

Remember! In the absence of traction, the use of gas appliances is prohibited.

3. Why is it necessary to regularly maintain gas equipment?

For the safe use of gas in everyday life, the most important role is played not only by knowledge of the rules, but also by the serviceability of the gas equipment being used. To prevent a tragic situation from happening, it is necessary to carry out periodic maintenance of indoor gas equipment (VKGO) and indoor gas equipment (VDGO).
To do this, each owner of gas appliances is required to enter into a maintenance agreement with a specialized organization. He can do this personally, or by delegating his powers to a management company (HOA, etc.).

4.What are the consequences of unauthorized work on gas networks?

As a result of unauthorized connection of gas equipment, there is a high probability of gas leakage, and as a result, an explosion/fire hazard. In addition, unqualified installation (of a water heater) can lead to hydrate blockage: water entering the gas distribution network, and interruptions in gas supply in a residential building. This, in turn, will require serious and expensive emergency restoration work, with the possible relocation of sections of the gas pipeline.

Remember! It is strictly forbidden to carry out unauthorized gasification of a house (apartment), rearrangement, replacement and repair of gas appliances, cylinders and shut-off valves FORBIDDEN!

5.What does the law say?

Responsibility for the safe use of household gas appliances in apartments (households), as well as their maintenance in proper condition, rests with the owners and tenants of residential premises in accordance with Art. 210 Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Art. 30, 67 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. Violators of the Rules for ensuring the safe use and maintenance of indoor and intra-house gas equipment are liable in accordance with Article 9.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

6.What to do if you smell natural gas?

– Immediately stop using gas appliances;

– Turn off the taps on the appliances and in front of the appliances;

– Open the vents and windows to ventilate the room;

–Do not light an open fire, do not smoke, do not turn on or off electric lights and electrical appliances, do not use electric bells;

Call the emergency service by calling “04” or “104” (for mobile communication devices) from a non-gas-free room.

7. Safety

GAS IS SAFE ONLY IF IT IS HANDLED CORRECTLY. FOLLOW THE RULES FOR USING GAS IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD.

In accordance with paragraph 2 of the Government Decree Russian Federation dated September 9, 2017 N 1091 “On amendments to certain acts of the Government of the Russian Federation on issues of ensuring safety in the use and maintenance of indoor and indoor gas equipment” (Collected Legislation of the Russian Federation, 2017, N 38, Art. 5628), I order:
