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 a Physical Plant personnel, gas company personnel, or other College or safety personnel. Windows should be open to allow ventilation.
