Gas is a safe energy source for heating and cooking in the home. However, if you suspect you have a gas leak, and say yes to any of the list below, evacuate the area immediately surrounding any gas escape without using a vehicle or any device that may create a spark, including a mobile phone.

• Can you smell gas?
• Can you hear gas escaping?
• Have heard or seen a gas explosion or fire
• Are you aware of damage to a gas pipe or gas equipment?

Important:

• Only if it is safe to do so turn off the gas supply at your meter
• Do not use a naked flame or other ignition source if you suspect a gas leak
• Do not create sparks by using a vehicle, electronic devices (mobile phones, tablets, cameras, etc.), matches or lighters, or by smoking
• Please report all damage no matter how minor

For a major incident, where there is risk to life or property, call 111
