 Natural Gas Safety Tips
Natural gas safety rules
- Follow manufacturers’ instructions with all gas appliances.
- Have your gas appliances installed, serviced and repaired by professionals.
- Keep chimney flues and vents for appliances clean and in good repair.
- Keep areas around your gas water heater and furnace clean.
- Teach small children to stay away from gas appliances.
- Teach family members what to do if they smell gas.
In case of a gas emergency
- If you smell gas and cannot find the source immediately go to a neighbor’s house and call the gas company.
- If the odor is not strong, open doors and windows for ventilation.
- If the odor is strong or persists, get everyone out of the house.
- Do not use a telephone or flashlight, switch a light on or off, or light a match if you smell gas.
- Don’t try to relight a gas furnace, water heater or range until you are sure there is no more smell of gas.
- Get immediate medical attention for victims of burns or carbon monoxide poisoning.
