Gas Safety

The Natural Gas industry in Tasmania is highly regulated with many controls and standards in place to ensure your safety. Prior to making gas available, the distributor rigorously tests all its pipelines in your neighborhood to ensure compliance and safe operation.

Unlike LPG, Natural Gas is composed almost entirely of methane, which is lighter than air.  Therefore, if by chance you have a gas leak, the gas will dissipate through natural ventilation.

If you suspect a gas leak in your home. 
Turn off your gas supply at the meter and open doors and windows.  Remove iginition sources and contact your gas fitter.

Gas leak or smell of gas in the street or at the meter.
Contact the gas emergency line on 180 2111 immediately.
