Top Tips for Gas Safety

CO Poisoning Symptoms

Learn the six main symptoms of carbon monoxide (CO ) poisoning - headaches, nausea, dizziness, breathlessness, collapse and loss of consciousness and teach them to others.  Unsafe gas appliances can put you at risk of CO poisoning, gas leaks, fires and explosions.

Be more cautious with your gas appliances at home

Check gas appliances for warning signs that they are not working properly e.g. lazy yellow flames instead of crisp blue ones, black sooty marks or stains on or around the appliance and high levels of condensation in the room.

We advise that you fit an audible carbon monoxide alarm at your home in South Woodford. This will alert you if there is carbon monoxide in your home.
