Using LP Gas Safely!
Using LP Gas Safely!
We take it for granted that our gas geysers, cookers and gas fire places are safe. It is only when there is a problem with an appliance that many people take any notice of it at all.
What are the gas safety risks of dangerous gas work?
Dangerous gas work can be deadly. Badly fitted and poorly serviced appliances can cause the following gas safety risks:
- gas leaks
- fires
- explosions
- carbon monoxide poisoning
- Lack of adequate ventilation leading to suffocation
LP Gas is hazardous. Similar to electrical installations, only use a registered installer to install, fix or maintain your appliances. Please do not try to do it yourself "DIY". You may be putting the lives of your loved ones at risk, as well as your property.
Everyone should understand how to use gas safely in their homes.
Always read the instructions that come with LP Gas appliances.

Sometimes we pack away our gas heaters until winter. Or we think or appliances will last forever! There are seals and hoses that can degrade with time. Make sure your appliance is safe before using it, by checking the manufacturers instructions regarding maintenance or alternatively, get hold of a registered installer to check if for you. Always follow the instructions when connecting and disconnecting appliances from gas cylinders. Your registered installer will carry out tests and checks to establish your appliances are operating safely.
