GAS SAFETY
Gas Safety:
Dear future customer when you are
considering having your gas appliance serviced or domestic/landlord gas safety checked please ask your
plumber/gas service technician/installer whether they check the whole gas system from the gas meter. You
probably find that they do not and that they only check at the appliance. VSB Plumbing services always start
from the gas meter and check the whole house for gas safety before anything else, this ensures that you are
safe. You would be surprised at the amount of times that there has been a leak at the gas meter or on the
pipework and on occasions the ECV (Emergency Control Valve) has been
seized.

Gas Safety Advice from
your Gas Safe Register Licensed business.
Have you had your gas appliances safety checked this
year?
As a Gas Safe Register Licensed business we can provide
an annual safety check of your gas appliances as recommended by Gas Safe
Register the UK's gas safety watchdog.
Appliances that are properly installed, serviced and
adequately ventilated are efficient and safe. If your appliances are not safety checked
regularly and there is a problem, there may be a risk of carbon monoxide (CO) being
produced.
Carbon monoxide, also known as the silent killer, is a
highly poisonous gas which can infiltrate your home through the most
apparently harmless devices, like your boiler or cooker.
It is impossible to see or smell. An annual safety check is one of the best ways to
protect yourself and your family from the risks.

If you are calling from a
mobile phone then go outside first.
Do NOT smoke, do NOT turn light switches on or off and do
NOT do anything to create a spark.
Turn off the supply at the meter. If you do not have to
switch on a light to do so, open doors and windows and wait outside for the emergency
engineer to arrive.
It is vital that the victim is removed immediately from
the contaminated area, placed into the open air and given pure oxygen, if available.
Victims should be kept at rest, avoiding exertion. You need to call for medical help
urgently.
