Safety is our number one priority at Kentucky Frontier Gas. Here are some top tips for staying safe around natural gas:
-
Know the Smell: Natural gas has an added scent, like rotten eggs, to help detect leaks. If you smell it, take action immediately.
-
Clear the Area: Keep meters and outdoor equipment clear of plants, snow, and debris to prevent damage. This ensures maintenance workers have easy access in case of emergencies.
-
Appliance Maintenance: Make sure your natural gas appliances are regularly inspected by a professional to keep them functioning properly and safely.
-
Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Install carbon monoxide detectors in your home to provide an extra layer of safety.
-
Call 911 for Emergencies: If you suspect a gas leak, leave the area immediately and call 911. Do not use electrical devices or phones while in the area, as they can create a spark.
