Gas Leak Incident in Putra Heights: Safety Measures Recommended by CC Advisory Sdn Bhd

A recent gas pipeline leak in Putra Heights — caused by accidental breakage — has sparked concerns over fire safety and emergency preparedness among residents. Incidents like these underscore the importance of being equipped to respond swiftly and safely. In light of this, CC Advisory Sdn Bhd (a subsidiary of the Cheng & Co Group) has shared key safety recommendations to help individuals protect their lives and property during emergencies


ESSENTIAL SAFETY MEASURES TO FOLLOW

1. Assign a Fixed Spot for Your House Key
In an emergency, especially during a fire, thick smoke can reduce visibility to near zero. Knowing exactly where your house key is kept can save precious seconds during evacuation. Designate a specific, easily accessible spot for your keys to avoid fumbling in panic or confusion.

2. Prepare a Grab-and-Go Emergency Document Bag
Instead of keeping essential documents in loose folders, store them in a dedicated, easy-to-carry bag. This ensures quick access during urgent evacuations. Key documents to include:

  • Identification documents (e.g., MyKad, passports, birth certificates)
  • Insurance policies
  • Property ownership documents
  • Emergency contact details

Having this bag ready can help you act fast and reduce stress in crisis situations.

3. Equip Your Home with Fire Safety Essentials.

  • Fire Blanket – Offers protection if you need to pass through flames or shield someone from heat. Compact and effective, it’s a must-have safety item.
  • Burn Kit – Unlike standard first-aid kits, a burn kit contains specialized supplies for treating burns promptly and minimizing injury severity.

INSURANCE COVERAGE MATTERS

Beyond physical preparedness, securing the right insurance is crucial for financial protection. CC Advisory Sdn Bhd recommends reviewing the following policies:

  • Home Insurance with Fire Coverage – Protects against property damage caused by fires, explosions, or gas leaks.
  • Personal Accident Insurance – Provides financial support in case of injury during emergencies.
  • Medical Insurance – Covers medical expenses, including hospitalization and treatment for burn-related injuries.
