Gas Leak

  • Only personnel specifically trained in emergency shut-off procedures should attempt to shut off the building gas.
  • As a precaution, avoid lighting matches or turning lights on or off. Extinguish any open flames.
  • Stay clear of the problem. Go outside and wait for Physical Plant personnel or a gas company employee and direct them to the problem location.
  • Physical Plant personnel will recommend response procedures to those occupying the building once they have confirmed the leak. Building occupants should evacuate immediately if asked to do so by Physical Plant personnel, gas company personnel, or other College or safety personnel. Windows should be open to allow ventilation.
