TOP GAS 
SAFETY 
TIPS 
OVERVIEW 
• An unsafe gas appliance has the potential to lead to gas leaks, 
fires and explosions, and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, but 
these are all risks which can be avoided by following some 
simple gas safety advice.
• In the UK, the majority of homes have some type of gas 
appliance, so we’ve compiled a short list of tips to help ensure 
you stay safe.
OUR TOP GAS SAFETY TIPS 
• Get an annual gas safety check: Get a Gas Safe registered 
engineer to check all gas appliances in your property once a 
year. They’ll also do a visual inspection of your gas pipework 
and a tightness test to confirm there aren’t any gas leaks.
• Check your engineer’s Gas Safe ID card: You’ll want to 
check the front and back - this is how you’ll know they’re 
qualified to do the gas work they’ll be carrying out.
• Look out for gas appliance warning signs: If your appliance 
isn’t working as it should be, there are certain signs to look out 
for like floppy yellow flames, extra condensation and black 
marks around the appliance.
• Ensure adequate ventilation: This is essential for gas 
appliances to burn properly. You’ll want to make sure that no air 
vents or chimneys are blocked.
• Know the signs of CO poisoning: You’ll want to look out for 
headaches, dizziness, nausea, and breathlessness. More severe 
symptoms are collapse and loss of consciousness.
• Only use gas appliances for their intended purpose: 
Don’t use an appliance for something it wasn’t meant for - for 
example, using a cooker to heat a room
CONCLUSION 
• If you do notice the signs of a gas leak, steps can be taken to 
avoid and complicate gas leakage, including plan periodic 
checks and installation of carbon monoxide detectors.
• It is important to have regular gas leak services in London.
