Carbon Monoxide - Get in the Know
What is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas, which has no taste, colour, or smell. It can make you seriously ill and can kill quickly without warning.
What are the signs of a carbon monoxide leak?
Carbon monoxide is released when gas appliances do not have enough oxygen to burn correctly. Look outfor the following signs that could indicate that a gas appliance is not working correctly:
• floppy yellow or orange flame on your gas hob, rather than a crisp blue flame
• dark, sooty staining on or around your gas appliances
• increased condensation inside windows
• the boiler pilot light keeps going out.
Gas Safe week is approaching
We are proud to be supporting Gas Safety Week 2024, taking place 9th-15th September.
Gas Safety Week is an annual safety week to raise awareness of gas safety and the importance of taking care of your gas appliances. It is coordinated by Gas Safe Register, the official list of gas engineers who are legally allowed to work on gas.
The theme for 2024 is Checking—Every Check Counts; from checking that you’re complying with your legal gas responsibilities as a landlord, to checking that you, and your tenants, know what to do in a gas emergency. Every check (no matter how big or small) helps to keep your tenants and your property gas safe!
Badly fitted and poorly serviced gas appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions, and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is a highly poisonous gas that can kill quickly with no warning, as you cannot see it, taste it, or smell it.
The Guild of Letting & Management is supporting Gas Safety Week 2023
The Guild of Letting & Management has pledged its support for Gas Safety Week (11 – 17 September 2023) and will be promoting the important of compliance to raise awareness about the importance of gas safety.

This year, Gas Safety Week focuses on celebrating the breadth and diversity of gas engineers and the essential role they play in keeping the nation gas safe. As well as reminding the public, about gas safety and tips to ensure they stay safe, including not attempting DIY on gas appliances and being aware of the warning signs of unsafe appliances.
