Gas Safety Week 2016 19th – 25th September Gas Safety Week is an annual safety week to raise awareness of gas safety and the importance of taking care of gas appliances. With 22 deaths and nearly 1,000 gas-related injuries in the last three years, it’s vital that people make sure their gas appliances are safety checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Anyone working on gas appliances while not being Gas Safe registered is working illegally. Badly fitted/poorly serviced appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions, and every year thousands of people across the UK are diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is a highly poisonous gas. You can’t see it, taste it or smell it, but it can kill quickly with no warning.
• Get your gas appliances regularly serviced and safety checked every year • All Gas Safe registered engineers carry a Gas Safe Register ID card. Before any gas work is carried out always check the card and make sure the engineer is qualified for the work you need doing • Fit an audible carbon monoxide alarm • Know the six main signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning – headaches, dizziness, nausea, breathlessness, collapse and loss of consciousness.
Protect yourself from these dangers by following these simple steps:
• Check for warning signs such as lazy yellow flames or black marks and stains around the appliance. This could be an indication that your appliance is not working correctly and you should get it checked.
• Trust the Triangle - only use a Gas Safe registered engineer to fit, fix or service your appliances
• If you suspect anyone is carrying out gas work illegally, report them to Gas Safe Register.
