GAS SAFE
replaced the CORGI gas
registration scheme in Great
Britain and the Isle of Man on 1
April 2009. |
| |
|
Anyone carrying out work on gas
must be registered with
GAS SAFE. If not, they are
breaking the law and putting you
and your family at risk. |
| |
|
Only a
GAS SAFE registered
engineer is legally allowed to
install gas appliances, boilers,
hobs, ovens or fires in your
home or workplace. |
| |
|
You must only use a
GAS SAFE registered
engineer for any type
of gas work, including
installation, maintenance and
servicing. |
| |
|
Top tips for gas safety: |
| |
|
Always use a
GAS SAFE registered
engineer to install, repair and
service your gas appliances,
including your: |
| |
|
• gas boiler |
|
• gas fire, gas cooker or hob |
|
• central heating system,
radiators or your hot water
system, if they are connected to
either a Natural Gas or LPG
(liquefied petroleum gas) supply |
| |
|
Always ask for the card.
GAS SAFE registered
engineers all
carry a Gas Safe Register ID
card. It shows you what they
look like and what gas work they
are qualified to do. It also
gives you a unique licence
number that you can use to check
they are still on the register. |
| |
|
Only allow an engineer to work
on your gas appliances after you
have checked their
GAS SAFE REGISTER
ID card. If you have
any doubts call 0800 408 5500
and quote the unique licence
number on your engineer’s ID
card. |
| |
|
If you suspect an engineer is
not registered and working
illegally, you should report it
to
GAS SAFE REGISTER
using the ‘Report an illegal
engineer’ service. |
| |
|
Check that your engineer is
qualified to work on your gas
appliance. |
| |
|
Not all engineers are qualified
to carry out all types of gas
work. Make sure you check the
qualifications on the back of
their ID card to make sure they
are competent to work on your
appliance. |
