Ghana’s petroleum downstream regulator, National Petroleum Authority (NPA), has urged LPG users to adhere to safety measures to avoid gas-related explosions and resultant injuries and deaths.
The Head of the Department for Consumer Services, Mrs Eunice Budu Nyarko, made the call at a Cylinder Recirculation Model and Gas Safety sensitisation workshop at the Mt. Olivet Methodist Church in Dansoman, a suburb of Accra, on Sunday.
A team from the Corporate Affairs and Gas Directorates conducted the sensitisation exercise.
Mrs Budu Nyarko, who led the team, explained the rationale for its rollout and indicated that the policy would, among other things, improve access to LPG and ensure safety in its use.
She entreated the congregation to be abreast with LPG safety tips to prevent explosions and resultant damage to life and property.
After the presentation, the team interacted with the congregation and distributed leaflets and other educative materials on the subject to them.
The congregation expressed their desire to embrace the CRM.
