I Think I Smell "Gas"

• Extinguish all smoking materials and other open flames.
• Immediately leave the premises in an orderly manner - walking quickly or running across a room may create static electricity and ignite a leak
• Avoid turning light switches on or off, do not use the telephone, do not unplug fan motors - or anything that could create a spark.
• Shut off the gas supply using the service valve at the tank, cylinder or meter.
• Go to the nearest phone off-premises, and call Sparling's.
• Stay out of the building until the leak or problem has been identified and repaired.
• We strongly recommend that a qualified propane technician re-lights your propane appliances and equipment.
• Some people believe incorrectly that the smell of propane gas is simply a signal that their cylinder or tank is nearly empty and should be refilled. When a tank is almost empty, you may notice an odour when range top burners ignite. However, if this odour persists, you may have a propane leak.
• A persistent gas odour is your signal to TAKE IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY ACTION.

Contact your Sparling's Branch for additional information specific to your propane installation.

Our Safety Record Speaks for Itself. We're proud of our industry's safety record. A U.S. government study determined that while an individual's chance of getting into a fatal motor vehicle accident is around 1 in 4,700, the chance that a member of the general public would be involved in a fatal propane transportation or storage accident is 1 in 37,000,000! That is 27 times better than the odds of being struck by lightning (1 in 1,375,000). In addition, a study by the National Fire Protection Association revealed that gas is actually the safest method to heat your home.
