THOUSANDS of organisati ons across the UK will work together this month for the sixth annual Gas Safety Week, which is organised by the Gas Safe Register.
The overall aim of Gas Safety Week, which will start on Monday September 19 and run unti l Sunday September 25, is to raise awareness of the dangers that gas appliances can cause if they are not maintained. They can result in gas leaks, fires, explosions and even carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a silent killer. It’s colourless, odourless and tasteless, but the poisonous gas can be lethal and can cause serious long-term health problems.
