Gas safety
Gas is a safe fuel if it is used correctly and treated with respect.
Tenants are asked:
- To let our engineers into their homes to carry out our annual safety checks
- To report any problems with appliances at once to the council offices on 01455 238141
- To report any gas leaks, call the National Grid Emergency line on 0800 111 999 immediately
- To be very cautious about buying second-hand gas appliances and always buy from a very reputable company
- Not to reduce or block the ventilation to gas appliances
- Not to block gas fuels or chimneys taking any poisonous fumes away from gas appliances
- Not to carry out any 'do-it-yourself' work to install or repair gas appliances - leave it to the experts. Apart from being very dangerous, you could also be breaking the law
For more information about gas safety, visit the Gas Safety website (gassaferegister.co.uk). The Gas Safe Register is the official gas registration body for the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Guernsey, appointed by the relevant Health and Safety Authority for each area. By law all gas engineers must be on the Gas Safe Register.
