Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords must ensure that their properties have an active Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in place. This certification shows that an engineer has checked the safety of all gas appliances and flues inside the property. Gas Safe engineers all carry an ID card with a photo. You should request to check it out before any work takes place on your property. The card confirms that the engineer is a member of the Gas Safe Register. Safety Certificates A gas safety certificate, also known as a CP12 is a government-issued document that guarantees the safety of your gas appliances and flues. Gas safe registered engineers have to issue the certificate. It is a legal requirement for landlords, hotel owners and B&B owners. It is recommended that homeowners undergo a gas safety test every year by a licensed tradesperson in order to avoid dangerous accidents. The CP12 can be used to verify the assessment of all gas appliances and equipment on your property by a skilled and certified engineer. They will examine critical data to determine if the appliance is working properly and in compliance with standards for safety. They will also check the safety of fireplaces and flues. The engineer will then fix the problem and note it on the CP12. The engineer will then issue an updated version to verify the safety of all gas equipment. Gas Safety (Installation and Utilization) Regulations from 1998 stipulate that landlords are required to conduct annual inspections on their non-domestic gas appliances and flues. Failure to do so could result in heavy penalties or fines. During the inspection the engineer will conduct a test on every appliance in the property and also their connections and flues. The engineer will then evaluate the condition of any gas-related equipment like the boiler and the pipework. They will also note the findings on the CP12 which is required to be provided to tenants within 28 days of the inspection. Gas safe registered engineers must inspect vessels and leisure boats like lodges and caravans, regularly to ensure they are in a good working order. The engineer will check all gas appliances and equipment as well as the flues and connection points in the vehicle or vessel. The engineer will then issue the owner an “Landlord Gas Safety Record For Leisure Accommodation”, or CP2.

It is colourless, odourless and tasteless. It can cause poisoning in those who breathe it. This is because it could affect blood and the brain. The best method to detect a CO leak is with an audible alarm or a carbon monoxide detector. Gas Safe registered engineers can also examine your gas appliances and flues regularly. A carbon monoxide leak has been discovered 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. Firefighters, police 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 poisoning. If you suspect that you may have CO leaks then it is crucial to get fresh air and turn off all gas appliances immediately. Contact your gas provider to request they turn off the gas at the meters. You should also open the doors and windows to let the air circulate.
