Description

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the independent regulator of health and safety and has responsibility
for regulating consumer gas safety in GB and does this largely through the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
and the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 (GSIUR).
A key component of the consumer gas safety regime is the Gas Safe Register, the official gas registration body
for the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Guernsey, appointed by the relevant Health and Safety Authority for
each area. By law, all gas engineers must be on the Gas Safe Register.
Gas Safe Register deals with all aspects of the downstream gas industry covered by the following regulations:
- Great Britain: The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998,
- Northern Ireland: The Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004.
The regulations cover both piped natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
The gas registration scheme is owned by HSE and exists to protect the public from unsafe gas work.
The current service concession agreement will end on the 31 March 2019 and HSE is seeking to put in place
a new SCA to operate the Gas Safe Register for a 5-year period beginning 1 April 2019. The provider will be
required to undertake a number of tasks and, in doing so, protect and inform the public of the risks of unsafe
and illegal gas work, and of other dangers such as carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
