Gas Safe Register is the only official register
for gas safety in your home or workplace
We’re the only official list of gas engineers legally able to
perform gas work on boilers, hobs, ovens, fires and all other gas
appliances.
Anyone carrying out gas work must have a Gas Safe Register ID card.
If not, they are breaking the law and putting you and your family
at risk.
Gas safety is one of the most important factors in having a safe
home and work place. The dangers that surround unsafe gas
appliances are deadly serious. Poorly maintained, faulty or badly
installed gas work leads to
carbon monoxide
poisoning, the effects of which can be fatal.
It’s not always easy to spot an illegal gas worker for a fully
qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. Always ask to see your gas
engineer’s Gas Safe Register ID card to make sure they are safe and
legal.
The Gas Safe register is here to make sure you don’t fall into the
trap of paying for illegal gas work with your health, and possibly
your life.
Who runs Gas Safe Register?
Gas Safe Register is run by Capita Gas Registration and Ancillary
Services Limited, a division of
Capita Group Plc.
We make sure all 120,000 gas engineers on the register are gas safe
and qualified to work with gas.
Gas Safe Register is the official gas registration body for Great
Britain (GB) and Isle of Man, appointed by the
Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for
Great Britain and HSWI for Isle of Man.
Gas Safe Register replaced CORGI as the gas registration body in GB
on 1st April 2009. The HSE carried out a review of gas safety in
2006 which, after consultation with the gas industry, engineers and
the public, led to the decision to change to a new gas registration
scheme. The contract to run the new scheme was awarded to Capita
and we launched Gas Safe Register. The sole focus of the register
is on improving and maintaining gas safety to the highest
standards.
