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 | Ruohonen.
