What a week it has been so far on Gas Safety Week 2018, awareness has been raised across the UK on the importance on Gas Safety and the dangers gas work can bring if not carried out correctly and safely. As the week draws to an end it is now time to celebrate the ‘Everyday Heroes’ that are making UK families safe in their own homes.
Gas Safety Week aims to raise awareness of the dangers of gas and the importance of Gas Safety. Still to this day many people are suffering from the effects of gas work being carried out unsafely and incorrectly. It’s simple, Gas can kill, and this is why it is so important you get gas work complete by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer. Too many people are far to trusting when it comes to paying someone to carry out gas work in their homes and will not check that they are fully qualified to complete the work.
Many people are unfortunately still unaware of the dangers bad gas work can bring until it is too late. Unsafe gas work can cause, fires, explosions, carbon monoxide poisoning and gas leaks. These are not only harmful to your home, they are also harmful to yourself and can put your health at serious risk.
Thanks to the ‘Everyday Heroes’ that keep families safe across the UK by carrying out gas work safely and correctly once they have achieved the right training and qualifications. These people have put in the hours to get qualified the right way and carry out gas work safely.
It is now time to end the usual ways of paying anyone to carry out gas work until you have seen that they are gas safe because it’s not just your home they are dealing with.
