You should be familiar with gas safety checks and subsequent reports if you do not want to encounter hefty fines or legal custody. Whether you buy a new home or put your property on rent, safety should be your utmost concern. Gas is one of the notorious culprits that can take away thousands of lives in an instant.
So, how do we protect ourselves against such deadly disasters? By thoroughly inspecting all the gas appliances and ensuring they are completely safe to use:
But staying away from gas is practically impossible because we rely on it for cooking, heating, and other essential activities. But what we can do is ensure all our appliances and pipe work is fully secure, and there should be zero risk of leakage, explosion, and carbon monoxide poisoning. This is termed gas safety inspection, which provides an assurance of a safe and secure life.
According to the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations of 1998, landlords must conduct gas safety checks annually and get their gas safety reports to ensure secure operation. But gas safety inspection does not mean you can apply your “DIY” skills here, no matter how good you are at this. Why? Because you are not legally permitted to do a gas safety check. Only a “Gas Safe” registered engineer can inspect your property and generate a gas safety report. So unless you are a gas-safe engineer, don’t take that extra burden as it won’t help at all.
You will be penalized with heavy fines and imprisonment if you miss the annual gas safety inspection or fail to provide your tenants with a gas safety report. According to the Gas Safety Regulation 1998, you can be fined as much as £5000. If any gas-related incident occurs on your property and authorities find out that you missed an annual gas inspection, you can get a jail time of six months.
Landlords and property owners must provide their tenants with a fresh copy of this certificate within 28 days of their commencement.
Furthermore, even if you're considering selling your property, having a valid Gas Safety Certificate is not just an option; it's an absolute necessity. It serves as concrete proof that your gas appliances are safe, and it's not something you can afford to overlook.
Alternatively, if you are a tenant and your landlord refuses to provide you with the gas safety report, you can file a complaint at Health and Safety Execute (HSE), so they can prosecute the land.
