How long did your gas hose take you?Do you think it can still be used without safety risks?Then you think wrong, the gas hose should be checked and replaced regularly, otherwise there is likely to happen irreparable tragedy.
The following case is the tragedy caused by a gas hose leak:
The gas blast that killed two people and injured seven on Oct 24 in a residential building in Wafangdian, a city administered by Dalian, Liaoning province, were caused by gas leak.
According to the investigation report posted on the Wafangdian government website on Jan 7, people living in an apartment on the fifth floor had been using a cooker without a flame-suppression device on the gas intake hose.
The hose, which was beyond its service life, had brittle cracks through which gas leaked. When the gas reached the open flame of the cooker, it exploded.
The report said that three months before the incident, workers from the local gas company found potential safety hazards in the apartment during a household inspection and ordered the users to correct them.
The tenants who rented the apartment failed to do so. The gas company also took no steps to stop the supply of gas to the customer.
The report said that the two tenants were mainly responsible for the explosion, but they both died in the incident.
The gas company was named as the secondary cause of the accident. The housing and urban-rural development bureau of Wafangdian will administratively punish the company, Dalian Xinshiji Gas Co, and the enterprise will investigate and deal with any personnel who contributed to the blast.
The above cases are what we are not willing to happen, if we usually pay more attention to safety protection, installation in place, regular replacement, such a thing will not happen!
