gas safe register

The Gas Safe Register is the official list of qualified and legally permitted gas engineers and businesses in the UK who can safely work with gas appliances. It replaced CORGI in 2009 and ensures that registered engineers have the proper training and qualifications. It is a legal requirement for anyone carrying out gas work to be registered, and only Gas Safe registered engineers are allowed to perform gas-related installations, repairs, or maintenance to prevent risks like gas leaks, fires, explosions, or carbon monoxide poisoning. To maintain Gas Safe registration, businesses must renew their registration annually, employ registered engineers with up-to-date qualifications who only work within their registered scope, comply with gas safety laws, keep proper records of gas work, and pass inspections by the Gas Safe Register. Consumers are advised to always check an engineer’s Gas Safe ID card and confirm their registration before allowing any gas work to be done. The Gas Safe Register also investigates complaints, inspects gas work, and runs public awareness campaigns on gas safety. It operates in Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey.
