Gas Safe Registered Engineers Maidstone
ABOUT GAS SAFE REGISTER:
Gas Safe Register deals with all aspects of the downstream gas industry covered by the following regulations:
- Great Britain: The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998
- Isle of Man: The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1994 as amended and applied by the Gas Safety (Application) Order 1996
- Northern Ireland: The Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004
- Guernsey: The Health and Safety (Gas) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 2006
They cover both piped natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
It is law that anyone carrying out gas work that is within the scope of the appropriate Regulations is on the Gas Safe Register.
The register is there to protect consumers from unsafe gas work. Your status as a registered engineer is evidence that you are working legally and you are competent and safe to work with gas.
Gas Safe Register will:
- Raise public awareness of gas safety and the gas register,
- Manage inspection and enforcement,
- Provide technical support and standards updates to registered engineers, and
- Provide facilities for the reporting of notifiable gas work.
THE GAS SAFE REGISTER BRAND:
Gas Safe Register is the official stamp for gas safety and it carries with it a simple message; gas, safe, register – keep gas safe.
This powerful symbol is about gas safety and the meaning is clear. A Gas Safe registered engineer is safe to work with gas.
As well as being the identity for the register, Gas Safe Register will be used for a range of gas safety campaigns. Gas Safe Register will be held in trust by the Health and Safety Executive and will remain the official stamp for gas safety. There will always be a Gas Safe Register, and as long as you remain registered, you will always be a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Inspection and enforcementWe assess the competence of individual engineers by inspecting the gas work you have carried out. Inspections will be generated from a range of data sources. Each piece of work you carry out is a potential candidate for inspection.
All registered engineers and businesses have a risk profile that is made up of a range of factors. This will help us to target inspection resources where we anticipate finding work that might be considered of higher risk.
Along with building a comprehensive risk model, we are securing gas installation information from a range of sources. We will regularly feed the risk model with installation data and from a combination of both generate the work to inspect.
Our dedicated enforcement team will identify and pursue businesses and individuals that undertake gas work unregistered.
Complaints and appeals:
- Complaints
