Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords must ensure that their properties are equipped with a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in place. This certificate proves that a licensed engineer has examined all gas appliances and flues in a home, and that they are safe to use. Gas Safe engineers all carry an ID card with a photo. It is recommended that you verify it prior to any work that is carried out on your property. The card confirms that the engineer is a member of the Gas Safe Register. Safety Certificates A gas safety certificate, also referred to as a CP12 is an official document that guarantees the safety of your gas appliances and flues. It is issued by a registered gas safe engineer and is a vital legal requirement for landlords as well as the owners of hotels and B&Bs. To prevent accidents that could be hazardous, it is recommended that homeowners undergo an inspection for gas safety performed by a certified tradesperson every year. The CP12 is used to verify that a competent and trained engineer has inspected all the gas appliances and equipment on your home. They will look at critical data and determine whether or whether the installation is operating properly and in accordance with the necessary safety protocols. They will also inspect flues and chimneys to ensure they are safe. The engineer will then fix the issue and record it on the CP12. They will then issue a revised version of the certificate, which will confirm that all the gas equipment is safe for use. Landlords are legally bound to conduct annual inspections of their non-domestic property' gas appliances and flues, as outlined in The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to do so could result in heavy penalties or fines. During the inspection, the engineer will inspect the appliances, their connections and flues. The engineer will then evaluate the condition of any gas-related installation like the boiler and the pipework. They will also note the findings on the CP12 which is required to be provided to tenants within 28-days of the inspection. Gas certified registered engineers must examine boats and leisure vehicles, such as caravans and lodges regularly to ensure they are in a good working order. The engineer will inspect all gas appliances and equipment that are in the boat or vehicle, and also the connection points and flues. The engineer will then provide the owner the “Landlord Gas Safety Record for Leisure Accommodation” or CP2.

Carbon Monoxide Leaks Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a hazardous gas that can be released from defective gas appliances. It is colorless, odourless and tasteless. It can cause poisoning to people who breathe it. This is due to the fact that it can affect blood and the brain. The best method to detect the presence of a CO leak is with an audible alarm or carbon monoxide detector. Gas Safe registered engineers can also examine your gas appliances and flues on a regular basis. A carbon monoxide gas leak was reported at the primary school in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. At about 13:00 BST, the emergency services were called to Martins Wood primary school in Mildmay road. Police, firefighters and the East of England Ambulance Service were on the scene. South Central Ambulance Service treated an injured woman on the scene for suspected carbon monoxide intoxication. If you suspect that there is a CO leak in your home, it's important to go outside and turn off all gas appliances as fast as you can. Contact your gas provider to ask them to turn off the gas at the meter. You should also open all windows and doors to let the air ventilate.

Gas Installations Gas Safe Register is required by law for all who is working with gas appliances, gas systems, or flues in their home or in a business. If a person is not registered, they are breaking the law and could be putting your family members or yourself at risk. Always make sure that any engineer you hire is on the Gas Safe Register by looking for their ID card. If you're a landlord you must have all of your properties inspected for Gas Safety annually. Gas Safe registered engineers can assist in this process, and issue Gas Safety Certificates for landlords. This will ensure that your tenants are in a safe environment.
