Purpose: The paper contributes a pivotal solution addressing the potential hazards of LPG. It underscores the proactive measures that can be undertaken to curtail risks, fostering a safer environment for both industrial activities and the broader society. Design/methodology/approach: A leak detection unit for the gas reticulation system was developed based on the automatic shut-off using an electromagnetically charged solenoid valve. The main task of the developed unit is to shut off the gas supply automatically with minimum time using the electromagnetic field to detect any gas leaks to avoid unwanted ignition or explosion. The detectors are placed at the effective range ≤ 4 meters away from the point of use. When this occurs, buzzers and light indications are activated to notify the users. Findings: It successfully reduced the time required to stop the gas supply flow when a gas leak is detected to avoid unwanted incidents with 50% of the standard time. So, this developed design is promising and can be adopted in the Gas Reticulation System Safety Measures. Research limitations/implications: The secure operation of gas reticulation systems, particularly those involving Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), is paramount due to its wide- ranging applications across various industries worldwide. The Liquefied Petroleum Gas, or its acronym LPG, is a mixture of mainly Propane (C3H8) and Butane (C4H10). It remains the cheapest and most widely sought-after fuel source by industry players, from domestic cooking to commercials, manufacturing, and production worldwide. As important as these activities contribute to the economy, safety should not be neglected or jeopardised by society. Practical implications: Based on the obtained results, the validity of the developed approach was proved, and a comprehensive spotlight was introduced on the strategies and perspectives to overcome the challenges to enhance the Safety Measures for Gas Reticulation Systems. Originality/value: This innovative approach showcases the harmonious integration of electromagnetic technology and underscores the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in bolstering safety across energy-related sectors.
