🔥 Quick check of 7 principles when transporting gas in the rainy season - avoid unnecessary fire and explosion accidents!

The rainy season always poses many risks when transporting LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). Slippery roads, limited visibility, high humidity… just a small mistake can lead to a serious incident.
👉 To ensure absolute safety for operators, goods and the community, HES shares 7 golden rules following:

✅ 1. Always check your equipment carefully before setting off.

• Make sure the valve is tight and leak-free.

• Check pressure gauge, seals fully.

• Only transport gas cylinders with intact labels and undamaged shells.

✅ 2. Cover and secure the gas cylinder securely.

• Use specialized straps to avoid shifting when the vehicle brakes suddenly.

• Cover with tarpaulin or awning to prevent rain from wetting the valve or warning label.

✅ 3. Choose the right vehicle, load according to regulations

• Transport vehicles must meet fire safety standards.

• Do not carry more gas than allowed.

✅ 4. Drive slowly, keep a safe distance

• Be especially careful when crossing slippery bridges, steep or flooded roads.

• Do not brake suddenly or turn suddenly.

✅ 5. Absolutely no smoking, no use of fire

• When loading or transporting gas, any heat source or spark can cause fire or explosion.

✅ 6. Bring fire fighting equipment and warning signs

• Portable fire extinguishers and “Flammable and Explosive” warning signs must always be present on the vehicle.

✅ 7. Do not transport gas with chemicals or other flammable goods.

• Avoid any dangerous interactions in the same space.
