WARNINGS:
Natural gas is a flammable, gaseous mixture of simple hydrocarbon compounds. Because it is flammable, any leak, including leaks due to improper installation of gas distribution products could result in escaping gas, property damage, serious injury or death. This includes failure to properly cathodically protect metallic fittings installed underground. Read, review, understand and follow the instructions and warnings for each component of any natural gas system you work on. Contact your local government center, building inspector and/or code commissioner before doing any work to find out what the proper codes are in your area. Follow all applicable codes and regulations. If no local code exists, NORMAC recommends following the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1.
CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG! A new national 3-digit number was introduced in 2007 to connect people to their state's one call system.
Leak Recognition and Response: A gas leak is usually recognized by smell, sight or sound. Smell: Natural gas is colorless and odorless. Some add a distinctive, pungent odor so that you'll recognize it quickly (not all gas transmission pipelines are odorized). Sight: You may see a white cloud, mist, fog, bubbles in standing water, blowing dust or vegetation that appears to be dead or dying for no apparent reason. Sound: You may hear an unusual noise like roaring, hissing or whistling.

What Should You Do if You Suspect a Gas Leak? Move to a safe environment. Call your local gas company immediately. DO NOT strike a match, use telephones, switch on/off appliances, lights or even a flashlight in the area where you smell gas. These items can produce sparks that might ignite the gas and cause an explosion. DO NOT assume someone else will report the condition. Provide the exact location,including cross streets. Let the gas company know if construction or digging activities are going on in the area.
