Gas Safe Register Now in Operation
|
Don't be caught out by Cowboys
All gas installers wanting to undertake domestic gas work in Great Britain from 1 April 2009 must have, under those Regulations, be registered with this scheme in order to be able lawfully to carry out any work on gas fittings, which includes gas appliances. Are you already registered with Corgi? If you were CORGI registered and intend to continue trading from 1 April 2009 you will need to register with Gas Safe Register Why do we need a new gas installer registration scheme? The HSE reviewed the current scheme. The CORGI statutory registration scheme had been operating for 17 years. During that time, the number of gas related fatalities had fallen significantly. Although stakeholders involved in the review overwhelmingly supported the continuation of a gas installer registration scheme, they identified areas where improvements could bring potentially significant benefits to both gas consumers and gas engineers. It was agreed that a fixed term contract would encourage investment by the scheme provider and provide greater certainty. This is a great opportunity to build on the successes of the existing scheme and at the same time introduce innovation to further develop the existing arrangements and add value to gas consumer safety.
