Gas Safety Week is a nationwide campaign that aims to increase awareness about gas safety in all residential and commercial properties. It was first held in September 2011. Gas Safe Register representatives and retailers, as well as manufacturers and the public, have been meeting annually since September 2011 to encourage people and their homes to be gas safe.
Why Do We Need an Annual Safety Reminder?
More than 700,000 gas appliance-related incidents were reported in the last year. Gas leaks or fires, explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning may all result from poorly fitted gas appliances.It is important to have them checked every year. You should add gas safety checks to your calendar now that the heating season is in full swing.
Gas Safety Steps
- Each year, inspect your gas appliances - Inspection of chimney or flue, and inspection of safety devices. Gas appliances should be checked to ensure they are properly burning gas. A copy of your landlord's gas safety record is available to tenants. It is a document that certifies that the gas fitting has been tested and meets all national safety standards. The gas safety record must be provided by your landlord.
- Check if your engineer is Gas Safe registered. Only Gas Safe certified engineers are authorized to fit, repair, and service gas appliances. You can find a Gas Safe registered engineer at GasSafeRegister.co.uk (the UK's official gas safety body) by postcode, by company name, by service and areas of work.
- Gas Safe ID card for your engineer. The back of the card contains all details, including all gas work that a certified engineer is licensed to perform. Each ID card includes a unique license number, which is used to identify the holder. It can also provide information about their qualifications.
The organizers also organized the Gas Safety Week. We advise everyone to be aware of Six symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning-Dizziness, headaches, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, breathlessness, headaches, dizziness, dizziness, dizziness, nausea, collapse, and loss. Warning signs for unsafe gas appliances include higher levels of condensation, black marks on the property, yellow or orange flames, and yellow or green gas cookers.
For gas safety perfection, you can also buy an audible carbon monoxide alarm. You can use this tool to detect any carbon monoxide leaking from your property.
