18 Safety Tips For LPG Systems
Housewives using the liquefied petroleum gas for their cooking chores would do well to follow these do's and dont's:
1. Have the installation of your liquefied petroleum gas systems done by a contractor experienced on these systems.
2. Periodically, the color of the flame should be examined. A yellow flame indicates poor combustion. Correct according to manufacturer's instructions.
3. Once the system is in operation, a person should use his nose as his/her eyes in directing leak. LP gas has been odorized, so it can be detected. However,exposure to a small leak for a period of time may desensitize a person's ability to smell it.
4. Brush on a soap solution and look for bubbles in checking for leaks.
5. Vacate the premises once leak is detected.
6. Turn off the LPG at tank.
7. Ventilate the house thoroughly if a leak occurs.
8. Remember that gas is heavier than air and will remain in low places for a long time unless driven out by a draft.
9. Correct the problem before you use the system again.
10. Place the storage tanks at a distance from building openings so any escaping gas cannot enter the building.
11. Make sure there is adequate air for combustion.
12. Check your flue to make sure the burned gases are vented outside (and not leaking inside).
13. Don't look for a leak with a lighted match, candle, or other open light.
14. Don't try to repair an unfamiliar system by yourself. Call an experienced repair man.
15. D0n't refill the storage tank after dark.
16. Don't change the type of gas without having the system adjusted.
17. Don't open the tank valves and allow vapor or liquid to escape into the air. Use gauge or weigh to check gas supply.
18. Don't allow weeds and grass to grow or trash to collect around the supply tanks.

16 Safety Tips On Mountain Climbing
1. Never go alone. The safe number is four so that in case of an accident, one can stay with the injured and the other two can go for help.
2. Wear proper climbing boots that are comfortable and not slippery.
3. Take along warm clothing.
4. Take along reserve rations.
5. Take survival aids----a whistle, first-aid kit and a flashlight.
6. Take a map and compass.
7. Plan walks carefully. Work out exactly where you are going to climb and make route lists.
8. Check the weather forecasts. On high ground, mist and rain can close in with a frightening speed.
9. Turn back if the weather deteriorates or if a route is proving too much for a companion or for the group.
10. Stay together whatever happens--unless, say, someone has an accident and one person must stay while the others go for help.
11. Always leave word where you are going and when you expect to return.
12. Keep to your planned route and schedule.
13. Know what to do in an emergency.
LOOK FOR:
1. Paths. Many mountain tracks are not shown on the map but do use those you find heading in your direction.
2. Easy slopes. To climb or descend, choose where the contours are well spaced rather than attack steep grass, rocks and scree on closed pack contours.
3. Ridges. The best walking always lies along the skyline where the main height has been gained and there is less distance to climb on the ups and downs of a horizon's crest. The footing is often short turf and the views are fantastic.

15 Tips On The Proper Use Of Insecticides
1. Read the label. Those that are labeled "non-toxic to humans" are the safest but must be handled carefully. Even though exposure to the substance once may not be dangerous, there is a growing concern about cumulative toxicity, the effect of long-term buildup. So use even the mild insecticides carefully. Use of the word "caution" also indicates a relatively mild insecticide.
2. When you get to the word "Warning," you know you have a more dangerous product. Follow the directions to the letter.
3. If you see the word "poison" and the old skull-and crossbones symbol, skip it and pick another product. Leave the stuff to the professionals and stay out of their way.
4. Read the instructions carefully. Never mix different insecticides together. Never mix an insecticides in greater strength than directed----it's only the bugs you want to kill, not pets or children or yourself.
5. Determine what you need for it. If it is one type of bug you are concerned about, then pick the least toxic insecticide that will kill the bug.
6. Keep the kids and the pets away when you dust or spray for a good length of time afterward.
7. Keep insecticides out of reach of children. Such dangerous material should be kept under lock and key. Don't store them with food products. Never use garden insecticides inside the house.
8. Keep the insecticides in their original containers and keep the label clean and intact. When the containers are empty, get rid of them. Wash out bottles and cans before tossing them in the trash can.
9. Wear clothes that cover you completely. Wear rubber gloves. If working in close quarters or for a long period of time, wear a respirator mask.
10. Since your clothing is bound to become contaminated, wash it when you have finished spraying.
11. Wash hands and face immediately. Wash before eating or smoking. Don't smoke while spraying.
12. Watch out that some products may be inflammable. Assume they are if they have an oil base.
13. Overkill is not a good idea. Fogging apparatus is dangerous. It drifts where you don't want it. If you can apply a small amount of insecticide to a plant or in a crevice, then don't spray.
14. Adjust your equipment for the smallest spray pattern possible. Spray so that the wind is blowing from you. Check your equipment. If it leaks, you may get the dust or spray on yourself. If you have a compressed air sprayer, be careful when you refill it.
15. Turn it over and release any remaining air away from you. Then if there is any insecticide left in the container, it will not spray in your face.

6 Tips On Avoiding Pickpockets
1. Don't flash bills or carry loose money in pocket.
2. Carry wallet in your inside coat pocket (men) or at bottom of purse (women).
3. Be suspicious of anyone who jostles you unnecessarily.

11 Tips On Proper Book Care
1. Begin to exercise care the the first time you open a book. Lay the book on its back. Open it a few pages at a time, beginning with one side, then on the other. Press lightly along the bound (inside) edge as you turn the pages to minimize the stiffness. It also helps to prevent "spine" injury.
2. Make a habit of using a book mark, instead of turning down page corners, or leaving a book lying face down.
3. Don't overcrowd book shelves, to allow easy removal of books----otherwise the spine will be damaged if you do it by force. To pull out a book from the shelf, insert forefinger and thumb on either side of the book, then gently slide it out.
4. Stack flat oversized books such as atlases, art and music books.
5. To preserve their binding, don't let your books slump on partly filled shelves. Use book ends so that they will stand upright.
6. Set books near the front of the shelf to allow air to circulate at the back.
7. Remember that too much heat dries out books; too much moisture causes mildew.
8. Condition leather-bound books for temperature changes with saddle soap or a fine paste wax. The best time to do it is when the book is new, then repeat every year or every two years. Apply a small amount of wax on a piece of clean, white, absorbent cloth. Spread quickly and lightly over the leather, making sure not to touch the end paper or pages. Muff immediately with a second soft, clean cloth.
9. Mend torn pages with gummed rice paper, onion skin or tissue.
10. Dust books every month with a soft, clean cloth.
11. Once a year, remove books from shelves and dust them individually.
