CORGI > Gas Safe Register
The way Gas Installers register is changing……
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
New Entrants
For those of you new to the industry, we have training blocks which will establish your suitability for the gas industry and also provide you with sufficient training to be able to move into the industry, undertaking relevant and required jobs in order to build a portfolio of evidence, declaring your competence with gas and appliances etc.
Successful completion of this process will result in the award of the CITB Intermediate Gas Certificate.
This process is recognised by CORGI/Gas Safe Register and is the recommended route for anyone looking to undertake gas courses and gas training ready for the industry.
