ZERA Warning: Door-to-Door Gas Filling is a Ticking Time Bomb
Category: Safety Alert | Source: ZERA
The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) has issued a grave warning to the public regarding the perilous practice of door-to-door LPG gas filling. This unauthorized activity poses a significant threat to public safety.

| ZERA Sounds Alarm on Deadly LPG Practice |
Warning: A surge in accidents, injuries, and fatalities has been linked to mishandled gas cylinders during illegal home refilling operations.
Critical Safety Information
Strictly Prohibited
No operator is licensed to refill LPG gas cylinders at residential homes. This activity is illegal.
Authorized Practice
Delivery of pre-filled cylinders and collection of empty ones for refilling at licensed facilities IS permissible.
Report Illegal Activity
Protect your community. Report unauthorized fillers to ZERA immediately.
The Risks of Illegal Filling
ZERA has reported a disturbing trend of accidents stemming from LPG filling operations conducted within residential areas. These activities flout stringent safety regulations and expose individuals and communities to grave risks.
To underscore the severity of the issue, the authority emphasizes that unauthorized and unregulated activity poses a significant threat to public safety. Mishandled gas cylinders in uncontrolled environments are a recipe for disaster.
Safety Regulations
The safe handling and refilling of LPG gas necessitate strict adherence to regulations.
ZERA mandates that LPG filling stations undergo rigorous inspections and obtain necessary licenses to operate. Equipment used in licensed facilities is tested for safety.
Personnel involved in the process must undergo specialized training to ensure competence and adherence to safety protocols. Illegal door-to-door fillers lack this critical training.
Protecting Lives and Property
ZERA's public notice serves as a critical reminder to prioritize safety when dealing with LPG.
By avoiding illegal filling practices and reporting suspicious activities, the public can contribute to mitigating the risks associated with this hazardous substance. Adhering to regulations and utilizing authorized services is essential in safeguarding lives and property.
As the regulatory body, ZERA remains committed to ensuring the safe and responsible use of LPG in Zimbabwe. By working together, the public and authorities can effectively address this pressing issue and prevent further tragedies.
