This week marks Gas Safety Week 2025, a national campaign aimed at raising awareness of the vital role gas safety plays in protecting people and properties across the UK. 

The theme for this year - Looking after your home, friends, family - highlights that gas safety is everyone’s responsibility. Whether it’s checking in on relatives, sharing advice with neighbours, or ensuring tenants in residential and other commercial buildings are protected, we can all play a part in keeping our communities safe. 

Evotech’s Gas Safe registered engineers are committed to keeping commercial buildings safe, compliant, and energy efficient. For landlords, property managers, and housing providers, regular maintenance is not just a legal requirement but a duty of care to the people who live and work in their buildings. 

The dangers of unsafe gas appliances

The main aim of Gas Safety Week is to highlight the risks of poorly maintained gas appliances, which can lead to:

• Gas leaks
• Fires
• Explosions
• Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning

Carbon monoxide is often called the ‘silent killer’ because it cannot be seen, smelt, or tasted. Without proper checks, tenants and building users may be exposed to this deadly risk without ever realising it. 

Why using a Gas Safe registered engineer matters

To ensure safety, it’s essential to have all gas appliances serviced and checked by an engineer listed on the Gas Safe Register, qualified to work on the right type of gas supply (mains gas or LPG) and the specific appliances in your property. Visit the Gas Safe Register: www.gassaferegister.co.uk to check your engineer’s credentials or to find a suitable Gas Safe engineer in your area.

Protecting people, properties, and communities

Gas safety is not just about compliance, it’s about protecting lives and making buildings safe, sustainable places to live and work. By working together, we can all play a part in looking after our homes, our friends, our families, and our wider communities.
