What is the Gas Safe Register
Gas Safe Register is the official list of gas engineers who are qualified to work safely and legally on gas appliances.
By law, all gas engineers must be on the Gas Safe Register. It replaced CORGI. Don’t Cut Corners by using unregistered gas workers – always use a Gas Safe registered engineer to carry out any gas work, and remember to check the engineer’s Gas Safe Register ID card.
For more information and to find and check an engineer go to www.GasSafeRegister.co.uk or call 0800 408 5500. Take care and be Gas Safe
Remember to always check the engineer’s Gas Safe Register ID card to make sure they are registered and qualified to carry out the gas work you need them to do.
Landlords are legally responsible for the safety of their tenants. Landlords should make sure maintenance and annual safety checks on gas appliances are carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
By law landlords must make sure:
* pipe-work, appliances and flues provided for tenants are maintained in a safe condition
* that all appliances and flues that they provide for tenants use have an annual safety check
* that maintenance and annual safety checks are carried out by an engineer registered with Gas Safe Register
* all gas equipment (including any appliance left by a previous tenant) is safe or otherwise removed before re-letting
* a gas safety record is provided to the tenant within 28 days of completing the check or to any new tenant before they move in
* they keep a copy of the gas safety record for two years
Before any gas work is carried out always check the engineers ID card and make sure the engineer is qualified for the work you need doing. Encourage your tenants to do the same.

Landlords
Tenants
Landlords have responsibilities for gas safety. All gas appliances provided by the landlord must be correctly maintained and a gas safety check must be carried out every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
If you are a tenant always:
* Ask for a copy of the landlord’s current gas safety record before you move in or after the being carried out.
* Check the ID card of any gas engineer that comes to do work in your home. The engineer must be Gas Safe registered.
* Check the engineer is qualified for the work you need doing - you can find this information on the back of the ID card.
* Cooperate with your landlord and let a registered engineer in when a gas safety check or servicing has to be done.
* Arrange for any gas appliances you own to be regularly serviced and safety checked every year.
Remember, if you think a gas appliance is faulty turn it off and let your landlord know immediately.
Badly fitted and poorly serviced appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning. If you feel unwell seek medical help immediately.
