GAS SAFETY WEEK
Landlords, Remember that it’s Gas Safety Week!
From 19th to 25th September 2016, Gas Safe Register is holding its annual Gas Safety Week for the sixth year running. It sees organisations from across the UK working together to raise awareness of the dangers of poorly maintained gas appliances, which can cause devastating gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
Gas Safe Register reminds all landlords and homeowners to remember that unsafe gas appliances can put you and your tenants at risk of CO poisoning, gas leaks, fires and explosions.
You must:
- Check your gas appliances every year
- Check that your gas engineer is Gas Safe registered
- Check your engineer’s Gas Safe ID card
The Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) regularly communicates the importance of gas safety to its members, reminding them of the importance of conducting annual checks with a Gas Safe registered engineer, but Gas Safety Week provides a great opportunity to further raise awareness of the risks associated with not conducting safety checks
Landlords, remember gas safety this week and every week, to ensure your tenants are safe and you comply with the law.
