Gas safety show

FOYLESIDE Shopping Centre had a special summer glow recently with the arrival of the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland's Gas Safe Summer Roadshow.

The event organised by Gas Safe Register, who were recently appointed to manage the register of qualified engineers in Northern Ireland, aimed to raise awareness of gas safety on holiday.

One of a series of roadshows over the summer, it provided a great opportunity for shoppers to find out more about gas safety, whether holidaying abroad or in the UK. There was also a great competition to win a top of the range barbecue.
