Gas Safety Week 2022 toolkit is available now
Gas Safety Week is a week-long annual campaign which focuses on ensuring the general public knows how to stay gas safe.
Coordinated by Gas Safe Register, the campaign traditionally marks the ‘big switch on’ in mid-September when people start to turn gas appliances on and use their heating more regularly.
Gas Safety Week 2022 runs from 12-18 September and focuses on the theme ‘Get In The Know’, encouraging people to stay aware of gas safety and to look for the signs which might show something is wrong.
There is a toolkit which supporters can use, which includes social media updates, images and animations, web banners, stock images and copy and more.
Pledge your support to Gas Safety Week to receive the toolkit.
