Although there are many DIY tasks you can safely perform at home, unless you are a trained professional, working with gas appliances is not one of them. CORGI’s Spring Campaign is focused on letting DIY dynamos know the dangers of DIY’ing with gas.
According to statistics released by safety organisation the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), over 200,000 people are injured whilst undertaking some form of DIY project in their home each year. With figures like this it’s not surprising that a new craze is on the increase; GSI or “Get Someone In”.
However, if you would still like to have a go at tackling those DIY projects around your home, or your previous DIY attempts would make great material for the BBC’s ‘DIY – SOS’ programme, then why not download our DIY podcast? A podcast can be downloaded for you to keep on your computer or can be stored on a portable MP3 player, so you can listen to it later.
With tips from Channel 4’s DIY guru Tony Lush, and supported by the UK’s gas safety watchdog – CORGI, this podcast is designed to give you some useful tips on planning your project, keeping yourself safe and if you feel you are out of your depth… GSI – Getting Someone In.
