NaturalNatural Gas Safety Tips

According to the American Gas Association, more than 177 million Americans rely on natural gas today as their main heating source. Natural gas is clean, efficient and relatively safe. However, there are dangers associated with natural gas usage.  Exposure to natural gas through gas leaks can be potentially harmful and may lead to explosions and pose serious health risks that are sometimes fatal.

One of the most telling signs of a natural gas leak is a rotten egg odor that is emitted. Here are a few tips to help ensure your safety in the event of a gas leak:
  • Immediately evacuate the area.
  • Do not turn on or off any electrical appliances as you leave, even light switches or cell phones, as they may create a spark.
  • From a safe location, call 9-1-1
  • Remain at a safe distance and warn others to stay away from the area until emergency responders and/or the gas service crews arrive.
