Gas Safety Tips to Users :
Safe Use of Aerosol Products

Some aerosol products (e.g., air freshener, corrosive inhibitor, deodorant, insecticide, lubricant, styling foam and snow spray) currently sold on the market contain a mixture of liquefied petroleum gas and chemicals which are pressurized and stored in liquid form in aerosol cans. Members of the public should pay attention to gas safety in keeping and using these aerosol products. They must first read and understand the directions and instructions of the manufacturers before using these products, and follow them strictly. Moreover, when using an aerosol can,

One should

check the aerosol can for damage and leaks;
use the aerosol can in a well-ventilated place, and far away from fire;
keep the aerosol can in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place;
keep the aerosol can out of reach of children.

One should not

× smoke or use the aerosol can in a confined area where electrical appliances are in operation;
× spray on naked flame, fire or incandescent surfaces;
× make an excessive use of the aerosol can, e.g., exhausting its contents in one spray;
× inhale the contents of the aerosol can;
× keep the aerosol can in an enclosed space, such as in the glove compartment inside a car;
× refill the aerosol can;
× puncture or burn the used aerosol can.
