I smell gas – what do I do?

Please keep yourself safe if you smell gas or suspect there is a gas emergency:

• Don't smoke or light a match
• Don't turn electrical switches on or off
• Open your doors and windows
• Turn off your gas meter at the shut-off valve (this often has a yellow or red handle) – don't do this if your meter is in the cellar
• Leave the building
