Back Gas cylinder safety

There are many advertisements in the media regarding the safe use of gas cylinders (like switching off electrical switches, opening of windows, etc) to avoid mishaps. There are also advertisements regarding the weight of cylinders. However, the condition of cylinders provided by gas companies is unspeakably poor. This could lead to disastrous consequences.

Gas companies need to take steps to improve the quality of the cylinders they provide to avoid mishaps.
