Gas Safety Week| Take care, be Gas Safe

We are pleased to announce that we are supporting Gas Safety Week, taking place 10^th – 16^th September 2012.

During this week we are calling upon our customers, past, present and future to take care and be gas safe. To mark the week Harmony Business will be sharing our top tips on how to be Gas safe.

Gas Safety Week is co-ordinated by Gas Safe Register, the official list of gas engineers who are legally allowed to work on gas appliances. Gas Safety Week aims to raise awareness of gas safety and the importance of taking care of your gas appliances. It is a national campaign with events, advertising and PR taking place across the country to help keep the nation Gas Safe. 

Here at Harmony Business, we believe that Gas Safety Week gives us the perfect opportunity to put gas safety at the top of everyone’s priority list. Making sure gas appliances are safe to use could save lives, so we work very closely alongside our customers and suppliers to ensure safety is the primary concern. By working alongside Gas Safe Register we aim to educate people on the real risks unsafe gas work poses and help people to stay gas safe. 

Last year alone 18 people died and a further 399 were hospitalised because of preventable gas related incidents. So by following the below top tips, you can make sure you are not risking the safety of your business, customers and staff.

• Make sure only a Gas Safe registered engineer works on their gas appliances. Illegal gas fitters can put their life at risk
• Always check the engineer's Gas Safe Register ID card
• Make sure gas appliances have a regular service and a gas safety check every 12 months
• Look out for warning signs that their gas appliances aren’t working correctly e.g. lazy yellow or orange flames instead of crisp blue ones, black marks on or around the appliance and too much condensation in the room
• Know the signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning – headaches, dizziness, breathlessness, nausea, collapse and loss of consciousness
• Install an audible carbon monoxide alarm
• Call the gas emergency number on 0800 111 999 if they smell gas

If you need any assistance or advice, please call us on 015395 66680, or ask one of our engineers when they are next at your premises.

Welcome| Let us introduce ourselves

We are Harmony Business, a specialist in catering equipment, laundry equipment and EPoS systems, from the North West. 

We have decided to start blogging (again) as we would like to share with you all our latest news, as well as the news and views from the market that catch our eye. However more importantly, we would like you to get to know us better; the people behind the company. Hopefully through reading this blog you will be able to gain a better view of what makes us tick and what drives us.

Harmony Business adverts from over the years

 

So firstly, how about a little history; Harmony Business & Technology has been established since 1983. Since then we have continually grown and gained invaluable experience in the design and installation of professional kitchens; the supply and servicing of commercial catering equipment; and the supply, servicing and support of cash registers and Epos systems. 

Over the past 30 years we have built strong links with large manufacturers including Electrolux and Parry, as well as smaller more specialist manufacturers. By working alongside only the best manufacturers we have built our reputation by proving first class service and support to all our customers, from all kinds of businesses. 

So now you have a little taster of who we are and what we do, I think we can start blogging on the more interesting things. However if you want any additional information check out our website- www.HarmonyBusiness.co.uk
