Natural Gas Explosion: Safety Tips

Natural gas has no odor of its own, so gas companies add an odorant as a safety precaution. The distinctive odor intentionally smells bad to immediately signal a possible gas leak. If you smell gas, here are some safety tips:

Don't turn on a light.
Don't switch on anything electrical.
Don't light a match.
Don't use your phone.
Alert others and leave immediately.
Call your gas utility from your neighbor's house or another location.
Tell the gas utility where you are so you can let them in your house when they arrive.

For families dealing with the trauma of gas explosion injuries, a lawyer can provide some peace of mind about the numerous legal issues that may be involved. Contact Pritzker | Olsen, P.A.
