Bespoke Gas Courses

Introduction

This course provides anyone involved in the design or construction of domestic and non-domestic buildings, or anyone who may work with natural or liquid petroleum gas, information regarding their obligations under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, as well as other relevant legislation.

Part B, 8(1) of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 specifically states "No person shall make any alteration to any premises in which a gas fitting or gas storage vessel is fitted if that alteration would adversely affect the safety of the fitting or vessel in such a manner that, if the fitting or the vessel had been installed after the alteration, there would have been a contravention of, or failure to comply with, these Regulations."

Anyone who, whilst working at a property, affects the gas safety in any way (whether it concerns the pipework, ventilation provisions, flue etc.) could be deemed to be in contravention of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, and thus find themselves having legal action carried out against them.

This course aims to prevent that from happening by making delegates fully aware of their obligations and requirements.

PLEASE NOTE: This course can be undertaken 'on-site' at the delegates' premises. Please contact our office on 01579 348544 or info@swaat.co.uk for further details.
