CAN YOU SMELL GAS?



Feeling ill? Headaches... nausea... dizziness?

Badly fitted and poorly serviced gas boilers, cookers and fires can cause gas
leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning.

In a gas emergency act quickly and take the following safety steps:



• Get fresh air immediately. Open all doors and windows to ventilate the room
• Switch off the appliance and do not use it again until it has been checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer
• Turn off the gas supply at the mains
• Call the National Gas Emergency number (see below)
• If you are feeling ill visit your GP or the hospital immediately and tell them that your symptoms may be related to carbon monoxide poisoning
• Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer to check and fix the appliance.

National Gas Emergency number: 0800 111 999.
