What is a Gas Safe registered engineer?
A Gas Safe registered engineer has been checked to make sure they are competent and qualified to work safely and legally with gas. Every engineer will carry a Gas Safe Register ID card with their own unique licence number, showing the type of gas work they are qualified to do. Before any gas work is carried out, always make sure you ask to see their Gas Safe Register ID card.
Gas Safe Register's top tips to keep you and your family gas safe
Always use a Gas Safe registered engineer for any gas work in your home - and check their ID card.
Make sure your gas appliances are safety checked and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines, or at least once a year.
If you live in rented accommodation, your landlord must arrange for a Gas Safe registered engineer to carry out a safety check every year on all gas appliances. You should be given a copy of the safety certificate before you move in or within 28 days of the safety check. If you don't have this certificate, ask your landlord.
Install an audible carbon monoxide alarm, which will alert you if dangerous levels are present in your home.
If you smell gas or think there might be a gas leak: turn off the gas at the meter, extinguish naked flames, open windows and leave the area. Seek medical advice if you feel unwell. Call the Gas Emergency Freephone number 0800 111 999.
