Natural Gas Safety
Never leave a burning gas range or stove unattended.
Never try to fix gas equipment on your own.
IF YOU SMELL GAS...
do not turn on a light or use any other electrical device or telephone
leave the building
once you're safely away from the building, call a responsible adult, the gas company emergency number, or 9-1-1
DO NOT...
use a gas stove or range to heat your home
play around household appliances
ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE!
Natural gas has no color, no taste, and no smell, but gas smells of rotten eggs - everyone knows this! In fact, this happens because after extraction,
a special substance is added to it - an odorant, the smell of which resembles that of rotten eggs. The odorant is necessary in order to warn people of a leak - after all,
gas is explosive and poisonous to humans.
