If you're worried about the incoming pipe being extraneous and touchable it can be covered with insulating material (at least up to the supply side of the valve where the IJ is likely to be, if fitted)
Surely if there is an IJ fitted, and there is an extraneous conductive gas main pipe, it would warrant a call to 0800 111999 to get them to insulate their pipe?
I am not too familiar with the style of insulated joints in gas pipes. But I was wondering if the generous use of white P.T.F.E. tape may provide the same degree of electrical insulation. See picture, right hand vertical pipe.

If you are attempting to use PTFE tape as an insulator on the joint you will be very disappointed, However if you rely on continuity in all such joints you will also be . Known as Murphy`s Law or Sod`s Law just like the butterside up/butterside down syndrome
