Gas network company SGN will conduct a routine test of the warning siren at its Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) site on Blochairn Road in the city’s Provan area.

This test is done every six months and is used to warn people living or working near the site of any potential incidents.

It will take place on Thursday, October 10 at 10am and is expected to last a maximum of one hour.

During this, both ‘warning’ and ‘all-clear’ sirens will sound several times.

The firm says this test is a requirement as part of the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations 2015.

SGN spokesperson Dan Brown 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 Thursday, October 10 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.

“You can find more essential information and guidance on our website at sgn.co.uk.”
