Helping you stay Gas Safe this Gas Safety Week 2023

This Gas Safety Week focuses on the breadth and diversity of skills, experiences and people who play an essential role in keeping the UK gas safe. As well as, reminding consumers on gas safety and how to ensure they stay safe, including not attempting DIY on gas appliances and being aware of the warning signs of unsafe appliances.

Gas appliances that have not properly been maintained can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Carbon monoxide is known as the ‘silent killer’ because you can’t see, smell or taste it. Therefore, it is highly important to have your gas appliances checked by an engineer who is listed on the Gas Safe Register.

John Holmes, Mechanical and Electrical Manager at Sovini Property Services said:

“Quite often, people are not aware of the signs of faulty gas appliances and carbon monoxide poisoning as a result of these faults. Our team here at Sovini Property Services are passionate about making sure our customers gas appliances are operating safely and efficiently. We are therefore pledging our support this Gas Safety Week to remind the public of the seriousness of unsafe gas appliances, and how they can keep themselves and their families safe.”

Jonathan Samuel, Chief Executive Officer for Gas Safe Register, said:

“This Gas Safety Week we’re celebrating the breadth and diversity of gas engineers, their skills, and experiences, which play an essential role in keeping the nation gas safe. We’re delighted to have the support of Sovini Property Services in helping to spread important gas safety messages, such as always checking the Gas Safe Register to ensure your engineer is registered and qualified for the work needed.”

This week we will be focusing on raising awareness around the importance of gas safety. Including risks of unsafe gas appliances, gas safety checks, and tips on how to stay gas safe.
