The way Gas Installers register is changing…………
CORGI > Gas Safe Register
Are you a new installer?
Registering with Gas Safe Register is a legal requirement for anyone carrying out gas work in Great Britain.
It is law that anyone carrying out gas work that is within the scope of the Regulations is on the Gas Safe Register from 1 April 2009.
The register is there to protect consumers from unsafe gas work.
Your status as a registered engineer shows consumers you are competent and safe to work with gas.
From mid February you will be able to register with this new scheme.
Gas Safe Register will replace CORGI gas registration in Great Britain on 1 April 2009. It will be the official industry stamp for gas safety.
The Health and Safety Executive, who is responsible for regulating gas safety in Great Britain, will oversee Gas Safe Register.
The new register will provide enhanced levels of service and clearly written rules of registration. There will also be new services and benefits designed to improve the registration scheme and promote gas safety.
Please visit www.gassaferegister.co.uk for details of how the changes affect new and existing Gas Operatives.
