Natural Gas Safety Just 4 Kidz

·         DON’T play on or with gas meters

·         NEVER tie your dog – big or small-to a gas meter

STAY clear of the flame on natural gas appliances like stoves or fireplaces

·         ASK your parents to install a carbon monoxide detector

·         If you smell natural gas in your home (rotten egg smell) go outside and tell your parents or a neighbour.

·         Digging in the yard can damage underground gas pipes.  Remind your parents to call Ontario One Call to mark the location of natural gas pipelines BEFORE digging.
