What you should know!!!
Running a property can be a stressful business. But are you aware of your legal gas safety duties as a landlord? Every year, landlords are conned by illegal gas workers who perform unsafe gas work, causing serious illness and death of tenants. If it’s your property, it’s your responsibility.
After a Gas Safe registered engineer has fitted or serviced your gas appliances, they will often leave you with a report which explains what checks they carried out. It isn’t always a legal requirement for your engineer to leave you this type of information, but many Gas Safe registered engineers will provide this.
The gas safety information tells you that the gas appliance or gas fitting has been checked to see if it is working safely and meets the correct safety standards. This information may also tell you when you next need to service the appliances in your property.
It’s important to get your appliances regularly serviced to make sure they are working efficiently and safely. You should also have a gas safety check done on all gas fittings and appliances every year, to reduce the likelihood of any leaks which can lead to deadly carbon monoxide poisoning.
It is Absolutely vital to ensure you are covered and providing safe surroundings for you tenants, should you fall behind with your checks and should any accidental fatalities or injuries are caused as a result, you the landlord are held responsible.
