MILESTONE FOR GAS SAFE REGISTER AS IT HITS A MILLION
21st January 2010
The Gas Safe Register website www.GasSafeRegister.co.uk has now
received its 1,000,000th visitor, confirming the site as a key
source of information for the general public considering gas work
in their home.
The most popular areas of the website continue to be the ‘Find an
engineer’’ and ‘Check a business’ functions suggesting the public
have firmly recognised the importance of only using a Gas Safe
registered engineer to carry out work.
“There have been more than 1.35 million searches for
businesses, meaning that visitors are not only using the site to
check the identity and qualifications of an engineer they have
already found but that they are using the site to find an engineer
in the first place.”
explained Simon Ayers, customer services director for Gas Safe
Register.
Visitors to the consumer website are also checking the other areas
offering detailed information about gas safety. The ‘Free gas
safety inspection’ online nomination form and information about
carbon monoxide poisoning are extremely popular.
Simon added:
“It is also very encouraging to see the public are
looking for more information about the risks surrounding the use of
illegal gas workers. It means they are taking the issue seriously
and looking at how they can protect themselves – it also means
registered businesses should benefit.”
The visit figures only refer to the consumer website but Gas
Safe Register is also seeing an increase in the use of the
engineer’s website with registered businesses managing their
registration online..
“Our recent enhancements to the engineer’s website allow individual
engineers, not just the business, to access technical information
online and we will continue to listen to businesses and make
further developments in 2010.
