Compressed gas:
This information is for residents living in houses. If you’d like information on compressed gas for residents living in flats, tap here.
- Unless for medical reasons, you mustn’t use or store compressed gas within your house. Gas in cylinders can become a major hazard in a fire and must always be stored safely.
If you’re required to use and store compressed gas for medical reasons, such as oxygen, you must inform us and the Fire Service.
We may install signage to notify the Fire and Rescue services that oxygen is being used in the property.
You can call 0800 555 815 to arrange a Home Safety Check with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service to discuss the safe storage of compressed gas.
- Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions when using or storing compressed gas.
