If you smell gas strongly or are unsure, leave the building and call the gas company or 911 once you are outside; do not use light switches, appliance controls, phones near the odor, or anything that could spark.

Natural gas piping and gas appliance work needs a Construction Industries Division MM-2 (natural gas fitting) or MM-98 (mechanical) license, with journeyman gas fitter certification for workers; the plumbing-only MM-1 class excludes gas appliances and gas piping, and LP gas systems fall under a separate LP gas classification.
