Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords are required to ensure that their properties are in possession of an authentic Gas Safety Certificate. This certification shows that an engineer has examined the safety of all gas appliances and flues within the premises. Gas Safe engineers all carry an ID card with a photo. It is recommended that you check it out before any work occurs on your property. This card confirms the engineer's registration on the Gas Safe Register. Safety Certificates Gas safety certificates, also known by the acronym CP12 are official documents that verify the safety of your gas appliances. It is issued by a registered gas safe engineer and is an important legal requirement for landlords and the owners of B&Bs and hotels. To prevent dangerous accidents, it is recommended that homeowners undergo a gas safety inspection carried out by a qualified tradesperson every year. The CP12 is used to confirm that a competent and trained engineer has evaluated all gas appliances and equipment in your property. They will scrutinize important data and determine whether or whether the installation is functioning properly and is in compliance with standards for safety. They will also check chimneys and flues to make sure they are safe. The engineer will then correct the issue and record it on the CP12. The engineer will then issue an updated version to verify the safety of all gas equipment. Landlords are legally bound to arrange annual inspections of their properties that are not domestic gas appliances and flues as per The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. In the event of a violation, it could result in hefty penalties or fines. During the inspection, the engineer will test the appliances, their connections and flues. The engineer will then assess the condition of any gas-related installation like the boiler and the pipework. They will also record their findings on the CP12 which must be handed out to tenants within 28 days from the date of the inspection.

Carbon Monoxide Leaks Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an extremely dangerous gas that could be leaked from faulty gas appliances. It is colourless, odourless and tasteless, and can cause poisoning in people who breathe it. 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 inspect your gas appliances and flues frequently. A carbon monoxide leak has been 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. 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 a leak of CO in your home, it's essential to go outside and shut off all gas appliances as fast as possible. Contact your gas provider and request they turn off the gas at the meters. It is also recommended to open all doors and windows so that the air can circulate.
