Gas Safe registered engineers carry an ID card. This could be a physical card or a digital card. If an engineer does not show you their Gas Safe ID card when they arrive at your property, don’t be afraid to ask to see it. Find out more at bit.ly/GasSafeIDCard #GSW26

In the wrong hands gas work can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning. If there’s a problem with your gas appliance, don’t try to fix it yourself. Always use a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. Find out more at bit.ly/DoNotDIYGas #GSW26

In a gas emergency, it’s important to act quickly. Stop using gas appliances, turn off the gas at the meter, open windows, go outside, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Get medical help if you feel unwell. Find out more at bit.ly/EmergencyGas #GSW26

Anyone carrying out gas work for you must be Gas Safe registered. If they’re not, they’re working illegally. Cutting corners to save money is not worth it; it can put lives at risk and could cost more to fix. Check your engineer is Gas Safe at gassaferegister.co.uk #GSW26
