Gas Safety Policy

INTRODUCTION

If gas appliances and pipework are incorrectly installed and inadequately maintained, staff and others may be at risk from carbon monoxide poisoning, explosions and fire. (See Guidance).

It is our policy to:

• Use gas appliances which conform to appropriate standards.
• Ensure gas appliances and pipework are installed and maintained by a competent person.
• Keep records relating to gas appliance and pipework maintenance and safety checks.
• Create an emergency plan to deal with gas leaks, fire or explosions and train staff in its implementation.
