Along with their Gas Service partner, Liberty, Merthyr Valleys Homes will be knocking on the doors of tenants who are due an Annual Gas Safety Check and sharing simple steps on how to keep safe.
Gas Safety Week is here to remind the public how to keep themselves gas safe, and organisations across the nation are working together to raise awareness of the dangers of poorly maintained gas appliances, which can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions, and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
This year, Gas Safety Week focuses on celebrating the breadth and diversity of gas engineers and the essential role they play in keeping the nation gas safe. As well as reminding the public, about gas safety and tips to ensure they stay safe, including not attempting DIY on gas appliances and being aware of the warning signs of unsafe appliances.
Stacy Thomas, Director of Homes & Places at Merthyr Valleys Homes said “Our tenants’ safety is the highest priority. Ensuring all homes have their annual service completed is also an opportunity for us to share safety tips and energy efficiency advice with tenants when we visit their homes. We support Gas Safety week to promote the importance of safe homes and our commitment to a safety-first culture.”
Jonathan Samuel, Chief Executive Officer for Gas Safe Register, said: “We’re delighted to see so much support for Gas Safety Week 2023 - now in its thirteenth year. This year we are celebrating the breadth and diversity of gas engineers, their skills, and experiences, which help to keep the nation gas safe all year round. And we’re reminding the public of the importance of always using a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer to fix, fit or service gas appliances”.
