Gas Safety Tips

  • Keep all flammable and combustible materials away from gas appliances.
  • Ensure there is no smell of gas before lighting gas appliance.
  • Open your windows when cooking. Ensure there is no popping sound from the cooker when using it. Keep your cooker clean and in good working order.
  • Do not leave the gas cooker unattended when cooking.
  • Always purchase a gas cooker with a SAFETY Mark label.
  • Keep access to the gas meter control valve clear from obstruction.
  • For enhanced gas safety, have your gas pipes and kitchen appliances checked by a Licensed Gas Service Worker once every five years.

In case of a gas leak:

  • Shut the gas meter control valve.
  • Open all windows and doors for ventilation.
  • Extinguish any cigarettes or flames.
  • Do not turn on or off any switches or appliances.
  • Do not use a naked flame to detect gas leak.
  • Call City Energy’s 24-hour emergency hotline at 1800 752 1800 immediately from a safe distance.

Safety Precautions During Renovations

Before commencing any renovation works, please take note of the following:

  • The turn on and off of piped town gas supply can only be carried out by City Energy or its appointed agents.
  • Gas installation works can only be carried out by City Energy or a Licensed Gas Service Worker.
  • Any renovation works which may affect the integrity of the gas installation must comply with Regulation 16 of the Gas (Supply) Regulations. The works must not damage any exposed or concealed gas pipework. For condominiums, please obtain a layout plan from the estate management to ascertain the location of concealed gas pipes before any drilling or hacking of wall is carried out.
  • As an additional safety measure, you are advised to arrange with City Energy for a temporary termination of the gas supply before carrying out renovation works.
  • In case of a gas incident such as a gas leak, suspected gas leak, gas fire or explosion, please call City Energy’s 24-hour emergency hotline at 1800 752 1800 from a safe distance.

Periodic Inspection Programme for Gas Installations in Commercial Premises

This programme is administered by SP PowerGrid Ltd to ensure that gas continues to be supplied and used safely.

Premises owners/Building owners/MCSTs/Retail Consumers are required to engage a Licensed Gas Service Worker or Professional Engineer to inspect and certify that the gas installation in the premises is safe for use.

A Certificate of Fitness must also be submitted to SP PowerGrid Ltd, who will remind all relevant parties on the inspection and certification as the due date approaches.

Failure to comply in both instances may result in a termination of gas supply for safety reasons.
