Safety & Regulation


Boiler & Gas Safety Feature


Having regular maintenance schedules in place in homes is a proactive way of ensuring appliance and consumer safety protocols are adhered to, helping to keep consumers safe and provide them with peace of mind


as well as assessing businesses own internal competency assessment frameworks. Another key part of our role is to inspect gas work. The nature of our risk-


based inspection algorithm means we target our resources towards those who present a higher risk. High risk cases are instances where, for example, we have evidence of prior work from an engineer or business failing to be to meet the correct standards, or a tradesman or organisation is newly registered, and therefore we do not yet have evidence to demonstrate that they are working safely. The Gas Safe Register also provides support to registered engineers in the


form of a technical helpline. Operated by highly experienced staff (who are themselves registered engineers), the helpline is there to support registered engineers in their decision-making. The Gas Safe Register has a robust regulatory and legislative framework,


along with clear processes, appropriate support, and a culture of continuous improvement when it comes to gas safety — this is what we call The Gas Safe Way. Our ambition is that any work carried out The Gas Safe Way is automatically viewed as safe, competent and trusted, both by those working in the industry and the general public.


Bob Kerr is gas services director at the Gas Safe Register
