What should I do if I smell gas?

If you smell gas, act immediately

A natural gas leak can be dangerous. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, follow these steps straight away:

Do not turn any electrical switches on or off.
Do not use naked flames, matches or lighters.
Open doors and windows to let the gas escape.
Turn off the gas supply at the meter control valve if you can do so safely.
Leave the building and call the NI Gas Emergency Line immediately on 0800 002 001

Never try to find the leak yourself with a flame, and do not re-enter the building until you are told it is safe.
