Calor Urging Vigilance
As a result of the recent terrorist incidents
in London and Glasgow, Calor Gas Ltd has undertaken a review
of its cylinder sales policy. The company has written to all
10,000 of its authorised cylinder retailers urging them to follow
simple security procedures when retailing cylinders.
As well as
recommending a review of storage site security, Calor has reiterated
to its dealers that a Cylinder Refill Authority
Agreement must be completed for all new cylinder issues and the
customer’s identity should be confirmed.
Stewart Woolley,
general manager cylinder business at Calor, said: “Whilst
we would never claim indestructibility, Calor cylinders are designed
to minimise the risk of them exploding.
The cylinders contained within the Jeep in the Glasgow incident
did not explode; in fact, they didn’t even appear to be
leaking when they were removed from the vehicle.
"Calor Gas cylinders are used daily and
perfectly safely by millions of people up and down the country
for hundreds of different purposes,
and are supplied through Calor’s network of retailers,
who have a vital role to play. It is important that we maintain
the highest reasonable level of security when storing and retailing
cylinders.”
