IGEM’s Large Business Forum (LBF) with industry support produces Information Sheets, Risk Assessments & Guidance for gas engineers, predominantly downstream gas where it is perceived there are gaps in guidance; many also relate to those working in the built environment who are non-gas competent however may well during their work affect gas fittings and appliances – these are free to download.
The LBF encourages gas professionals to spread the word amongst fellow tradespeople and businesses, such as construction firms, FM & ME practitioners and housing repair/refurbish teams, of the dangers of interfering with existing gas installations and appliances when working in the built environment.
The Gas Safety Installation and Use Regulations (GSIUR) place legal duties on all trades to keep gas installations safe. When businesses and tradespeople undertake planned or responsive property work that could affect the safety of existing gas installations, they have legal responsibilities and obligations to be observant and to ensure their work does not affect the safety of gas fittings.
For gas safety advice or to find or check a gas engineer, report illegal gas work or have a customer complaint - visit the Gas Safe Register website. Alternatively, call the free helpline on 0800 408 550
