Safety with natural gas

Just like fire and electricity, natural gas needs to be safely controlled so that it can be used without becoming dangerous.

In Australia, strict regulations ensure that the standard of gas safety in the country continue to be high.

Safety regulations cover the design of appliances as well as how they are installed, and energy providers are required to provide customers with information on gas safety.

Natural gas has a good safety record because it is lighter than air and disperses naturally if there is a leak.
