Gas Safety
Under the health and safety at work regulations employers are responsible for the safe running of any plant or equipment at their premises. Stewart Anthony Ltd can offer gas safety inspections to ensure that you keep your commercial gas appliances in safe working order.
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations place important responsibilities on landlords, gas users, installers, maintainers, repairers and gas suppliers.
They cover domestic, commercial, retail, offices, public and other similar buildings, caravans, mobile homes, boats etc.

There are number of important points to keep in mind if you are considering, or indeed, having work carried out to gas appliances or fittings:
  • Anyone carrying out work on gas appliances or fittings as part of a business must be Gas Safe registered and suitably qualified.
  • Doing your own work on gas appliances and fittings can be highly dangerous if you are not competent to do so.
  • Do not use any gas appliance or fittings if you are not sure of its safety.
  • Unsafe gas appliances should be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
  • Landlords have a responsibility to ensure that gas appliances, including the flues, are in good working good order.
  • Those having work carried out on gas appliances or fittings have a duty to ensure that they are using a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.

Smell Gas?

If you smell gas

  • Turn off the gas supply at the meter or emergency control valve

  • Open doors and windows


  • Do not smoke


  • Do not use naked flames


  • Do not turn electric switches on or off


For Natural Gas call National Grid gas emergency service on

24hr emergency service

For LPG contact your supplier.
The details should be recorded on the bulk storage vessel.

What are your responsibilities?
It is the duty of every employer or self-employed person to ensure that any gas appliance, installation pipework or flue installed at any place of work under their control is maintained in a safe condition so as to prevent risk of injury to any person. See section 35 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations. Therefore if you are a Landlord, the owner of a building or someone who is employed to care for the maintenance of a site, then you have the responsibility to ensure that the gas appliances and fittings at your site are safe.

Under the regulations Landlords have special responsibilities to ensure that their tenants are protected from dangerous gas appliances. For more information see the Gas Safe Register web site.
Have you looked inside your boiler room lately?
The dark orange item at the back of the room is a boiler.
In this particular case the following was required:
  • The boiler room needed to be cleared of rubbish
  • The appliance door to be put back on
  • The lighting to the room needed to be restored
  • A service and a Gas Safety check were required.
    (This revealed that there were other defects to a functioning boiler, apart from the poor condition of the room.)
 Have you seen your boiler room lately? Gas safety!
