Twenty three million households in the UK, Isle of Man and Guernsey use gas to heat their homes and cook their food*. But while millions use gas to power their homes, how many are aware of the dangers that could put them risk?Gas Safety Week 2014 will raise awareness of gas safety and we've made a pledge to be part of this years vital campaign. We'll be joining the industries top retailers, manufacturers and consumer bodies to raise awareness of the dangers of gas in the home.
Gas Safe Register estimate that there are around 7,500 illegal gas fitters operating across the UK and up to 250,00 illegal gas jobs may be carried out each year** putting you and your family at great risk from poisonous gasses and potentially fatal incidents. We want to combat the illegal fitters and ensure that no home is at risk.
This years Gas Safety Week will take place 15th - 21st September and we'll be releasing a series of guides on gas safety awareness, as well as teaching our customers how to be gas aware.
