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 fitter 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 the
United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Guernsey appointed by the relevant
Health and Safety Authority for each area.
Gas Safe Register replaced CORGI as the gas registration body in
Great Britain and Isle of Man on 1 April 2009 and Northern Ireland
and Guernsey on 1 April 2010.
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.
