HS035 - Gas Safety in the Salon

Gas Safety in the Salon

This guide is for salon owners whose premises have any gas supply. That might be a boiler heating the salon, a gas water heater feeding the backwash, a gas fire in reception, a cooker in the staff room or a bottled gas (LPG) heater. Gas is safe when it is installed and maintained properly. When it is not, it can cause fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning, which can kill without warning.

What you'll get

• What gas safety law requires of you as a salon owner
• Who is allowed to work on your gas appliances
• How to set up a sensible maintenance and check routine
• How to spot carbon monoxide and what to do
• What to do if anyone smells gas
