Gas Safe have been raising awareness of the dangers the can come with gas appliances that have been fitted incorrectly and unsafely by unqualified Gas Engineers. Gas Safety is very important because unsafe gas appliances can cause gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, fires and explosions.
Over the last two years’ lots of homes have been put at risk by people carrying out work on gas appliances when they aren’t qualified to do so. This is illegal to do this and some people have received prison sentences due to this. Gas Safety is very important because lots of home owners don’t fully understand the risks that come with unsafe gas work.
