With carbon monoxide poisoning claiming needless lives you must never use an illegal gas worker, they could put you and your family in danger

What Can You Do ?

It’s easy, there are some simple steps to staying safe:

Make sure that they are on the Gas Safe Register. If you are having gas work done in your home ask to see their Gas Safe Register. All GAS Safe registered installers must carry an ID card and have it available to show to you when they are working in your home.

Check they are registered on the GAS Safe website.

Report illegal gas work to GAS Safe . If you suspect that you have had gas work undertaken by a non registered person then let us know by calling our freephone number 0800 915 0491.

Carbon monoxide warning signs

Carbon monoxide is a lethal gas that is undetectable by sight, smell or taste. It can be produced by improperly fitted or maintained gas appliances in the home.

To minimise the risk of producing carbon monoxide in your home, it is crucial that all gas appliances are inspected and checked every year by a GAS Safe registered professional.

Signs of a faulty appliance include the following:

    • Flames that are normally blue burning orange or yellow
    • Pilot light frequently blows out
    • Appliance is difficult to light
    • Increased condensation forming inside the windows
    • Appliance has soot or yellow / brown stains around it

If you spot any of these warning signs, you should switch off the appliance and arrange for a GAS Safe registered engineer to inspect it before you use it again.
