Gas Safety Week 2025 - Day 7: Top gas safety tips from HHIC

Gas safety is everyone's responsibility. Here are HHIC’s top tips:

  1. Book an annual service for all gas appliances – even if everything seems fine
  2. Check engineer credentials – always use Gas Safe registered professionals
  3. Avoid DIY gas work – it’s illegal and dangerous
  4. Install and test CO alarms – and make sure they’re EN 50291 compliant
  5. Don’t buy fake parts – always use genuine, certified components for reliability, energy efficiency and safety
  6. Landlords: fulfil your legal duties – gas safety is not optional
  7. Tenants: know your rights – ask for a Gas Safety Record
  8. Caregivers: check appliances used by vulnerable individuals
  9. Stay informed – share gas safety tips with friends and family
