Gas Safety Week campaign promotes appliance and carbon monoxide safety

The national Gas Safety Week campaign, led by the Gas Safe Register, is scheduled to take place from September 14 to 20. The initiative aims to raise awareness regarding precautions when working with or around gas appliances, focusing on the theme ‘Take No Chances’.

Industry manufacturers and service providers are utilizing the campaign to promote safety protocols and essential equipment. Companies such as Martindale are highlighting specialized electrical test and lockout kits designed to help gas engineers comply with safe isolation procedures and prevent electrical hazards.

Other sector participants, including Hispec and BLACK+DECKER, are emphasizing the risks of gas leaks, fires, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Industry experts from Arctic Hayes by DiversiTech UK suggest that the week provides an opportunity for installers to act as advisors, recommending upgrades to carbon monoxide and smoke alarms as essential components of home safety during boiler installations and service visits.
