Carbon Monoxide

Every year people die from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning caused by gas appliances and flues which have not been properly installed or maintained. Many others also suffer ill health. When gas does not burn properly, as with other fuels such as coal, wood or oil, excess CO is produced which is poisonous. You can't see it, taste it or smell it but CO can kill without warning in just a matter of hours.

To make sure you and your family remain safe from the possible dangers of gas ensure appliances are checked for safety annually by a GAS SAFE registered installer.

GAS SAFE-registered installers have to undergo at least the minimum requirement of training before they are accepted on to the GAS SAFE register. Most have significantly more training. The training and assessments that registered gas installers have are not only about the technical know-how of specific appliances but also about safety. All assessments have to be renewed every five years in order to keep installers up to date with ever-changing standards and regulations and to keep their knowledge fresh.
