MASSY Gas encourages LPG users to conduct regular checks on their cylinders, regulators and hoses

MASSY Gas Products (Guyana) Ltd., formerly DOCOL, in a statement said it has been filling LPG cylinders for nearly 80 years, and is an ISO-certified company, producing high-quality products and ensuring customer safety are its highest priorities.

To ensure safety and quality, MASSY Gas Products said it employs a robust system of automatic leak detection equipment, complemented by multiple manual checks. These rigorous protocols ensure that our products meet the highest standards of safety and reliability, the company advised.

Addressing a recent incident in Tuschen, the MASSY Gas Response Team said inspection was conducted of the gas cylinder, accessories, cooking equipment, and the conditions under which cooking was taking place. The company said while the team has yet to make a final determination regarding the cause, several observations were made. “The gas cylinder remained intact, retaining more than 50% of the LPG (cooking gas). However, the regulator and connecting hose were found to be burnt, and the regulator was reported to be over 15 years old.”

The company is strongly encouraging customers using LPG to conduct regular checks on their cylinders, regulators, and hoses. It urged it is vital to replace old or damaged accessories with approved equipment and follow the safety guidelines provided by their gas supplier.

To further promote safety, MASSY Gas Products said it has launched a social media campaign aimed at raising awareness about the safe use of cooking gas. Awareness and adherence to safety practices are critical in preventing incidents and ensuring customer safety, the statement noted.
