Gas safety

Anyone carrying out work on gas, including installation, maintenance and servicing, must be a Gas Safe registered engineer - ask to see your engineer's Gas Safe Register ID card. If they are not registered, they are breaking the law. Look for the yellow Gas Safe Register triangle.

When safely installed, regularly maintained and used properly, gas installations and appliances pose few risks. However, if not managed properly then the risk of fire, an explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning is greatly increased.

The Gas Safe Register replaced CORGI as the gas registration body in April 2009.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) publish a range of guidance on gas safety:

• Gas safety site
• Gas safety in catering and hospitality
• Precautions at manually ignited gas fired catering equipment
• Small scale use of LPG in cylinders
• Use of LPG in small bulk tanks
• A guide to landlords' duties
• Gas appliances - get them checked, keep them safe
