The Scottish Gas Network (SGN) has announced that they will carry out routine testing of the warning siren at their Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) site in Blochairn Road, Provan, on Monday 25 October.

The siren is used to warn people living or working near the site of any potential incidents. It will be tested on Monday 25 October 2021 from 10am. The test will last for a maximum duration of one hour, during which both 'warning' and 'all-clear' sirens will sound several times.


SGN conduct tests every six months at all their LNG sites, always notifying residents and businesses by letter beforehand. This test is a requirement as part of the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations 2015.

SGN spokesperson Waseem Hanif said: "We carry out these tests every six months because the safety of the Provan community is really important to us. While the test scheduled at 10am on Monday 25 October is routine and nothing to be concerned about, it's important nearby residents and businesses are familiar with the sound of the siren and know what they need to do in case a real incident ever takes place.
