Abstract This article discusses and analyzes the emergency situations resulting the use of the natural and the liquefied gas in the northern areas. The normative and the technical documentation concerning the items of the control and the supervision in the gas facilities is analyzed here. It is concluded that in present there is no unified service which effectuates the control of the technical state of the gas equipment in the residential houses. That is why it is observed the use of the gas equipment of the high degree of the deterioration and not perfect technically. The equipment is missing of the systems of the control of the gas leaks and of the gas contamination in the room, there is no of the automatic shutdown of the gas supply in the emergency situations. There are a lot of violations during the use of the liquefied gas in the cylinders during the filling of the cylinders by gas. During the exploitation of the liquefied gas in the cylinders especially in non-stationary conditions in result of the not observation of the technological conditions of the safety, the decompression of the cylinders takes place and with the subsequent explosion. According to the results of the analysis of the state of the item the offers are developed concerning the increasing of the security level of the exploitation of the gas networks and of the use of the liquefied gas in the cylinders, and also of the housekeeping equipment working on gas. In the legal form, it is recommended that the functions of monitoring the state of gas equipment and networks be transferred to one organization with the rights of state supervision. Ensuring operational reliability - condition monitoring, preventive and routine repairs, replacement of equipment, it is also advisable to transfer one specialized organization. Contractual relations with these organizations must be transferred to management companies. In the technical field of safety, it is necessary to replace outdated thermal equipment with modern models with gas monitoring of gas ...
