Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords must ensure that their properties are in possession of an authentic Gas Safety Certificate. This certification shows that an engineer has checked the safety of all gas appliances and flues in a property. Gas Safe engineers all carry the same ID card, which is a photo. It is recommended that you check it out before any work is carried out on your property. The card confirms the engineer's registration on the Gas Safe Register. Safety Certificates Gas safety certificates, also referred to by the acronym CP12, are official documents that prove the safety of your gas appliances. Gas safe registered engineers must issue the certificate. It is a legal requirement for hotel owners, landlords and B&B owners. It is also recommended that homeowners get an annual gas safety inspection every year by a certified tradesperson to prevent accidents that could be dangerous. The CP12 can be used to verify the assessment of all gas appliances and other equipment on your property by a competent and trained engineer. They will review the critical information to determine if the appliance is functioning correctly and in accordance with the necessary safety protocols. They will also examine chimneys and flues to ensure they are safe. The engineer will then correct the issue and record it on the CP12. They will then issue an updated version of the certificate to ensure that all gas equipment is safe to use. Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations from 1998 stipulate that landlords are required to perform annual inspections of their non-domestic gas appliances and flues. In the event of a violation, it could result in hefty fines or penalties. During the inspection, the engineer will inspect the appliances, their connections, and flues. They will then assess the condition of the pipework and any other gas-related installations, such as the boiler. They will also note their findings on the CP12 which must be provided to tenants within 28 days after the inspection. Boats and leisure vehicles that are used for recreation purposes such as lodges and caravans, must be regularly checked by a registered gas safe engineer to ensure that they are in good operating condition. The engineer will check all the gas appliances and equipment that are in the boat or vehicle including the flues and connection points. The engineer will then provide the owner a “Landlord Gas Safety Record for Leisure Accommodation”, or CP2.

Carbon Monoxide Leaks Carbon Monoxide is a gas that leaks from gas appliances. It is a colorless, tasteless, and odourless gas that could poison people who breathe it. This is because it can affect blood and the brain. Carbon monoxide detectors or audible alarms are the best way to detect CO leaks. Gas Safe registered engineers can also check your gas appliances and flues regularly. A carbon monoxide leak was reported at a primary school in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. The emergency services were called to Martins Wood Primary School in Mildmay Road just after 13:00 BST on Wednesday. The scene was attended by firefighters, police and East of England Ambulance Service. South Central Ambulance Service treated an injured woman on the scene for suspected carbon monoxide intoxication. If you suspect a CO leak in your home, it's essential to get outside and switch off all gas appliances as fast as you can. Contact your gas provider and ask them to turn off the gas at the meters. You should also open all windows and doors to let the air circulate.

Gas Installations The law stipulates that anyone working on gas appliances, gas systems or flues in homes and businesses must be registered on the Gas Safe Register. A person who is not registered is breaking the law and could put you or your family in danger. By examining their ID card, you can ensure that the engineer you choose to hire is on the Gas Safe Register. If you're a property owner, you are required to have all of your properties inspected for Gas Safety every year. A Gas Safe registered engineer can assist with this process and issue Landlord Gas Safety Certificates. This will ensure that your tenants live in a an environment that is safe for them.
