GCMC flags safety risks as 30% of gas cylinders Fail inspection under recirculation model
Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing Company (GCMC) flagged safety risks, revealing that nearly 30% of gas cylinders submitted for refurbishment under the Cylinder Recirculation Model (CRM) are unfit for continued use. According to the company, the defective cylinders highlight growing safety risks in households across the country. Management of GCMC warned that the continued use of faulty cylinders poses a serious threat to lives and property, with increased risks of gas leaks, fires and explosions.
Abdul-Rahman Mankir, the Managing Director of GCMC, stressed the need to expand the implementation of the CRM beyond its current operational areas to improve safety outcomes nationwide. He noted that the model is currently being implemented in Accra, Kumasi and Tema. He further observed that awareness of the initiative remains low in some areas, including parts of Accra.
Abdul-Rahman Mankir said broader education campaigns in partnership with the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) would help increase public participation. The Cylinder Recirculation Model, championed by the NPA, is designed to ensure that Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders are regularly inspected, maintained and replaced when necessary.
