Which of the following is a common safety hazard in gas fitting?

Excessive moisture
Improper ventilation
Overtightened connections
Too low gas pressure

The correct answer is: Improper ventilation

Improper ventilation is a significant safety hazard in gas fitting because it can lead to a buildup of hazardous gases, including carbon monoxide, within a space. Proper ventilation ensures that there is an adequate supply of fresh air to dilute any gas leaks and allow for safe combustion when applicable. Without proper ventilation, gases can accumulate to dangerous levels, posing serious health risks to occupants, including asphyxiation or poisoning. This concern is heightened in enclosed spaces where gas appliances are used, making it crucial for gas fitters to install and maintain proper ventilation systems to safeguard against these hazards. Other factors may also present safety risks, but improper ventilation directly impacts the ability to manage gases effectively in any gas installation scenario.
