Gas Inspection Visit

[kirkgas]

It all depends what work you do, there are no regs to say you must have an analyser, however the regs and MI now state where you must check an appliance using an analyser, so if you do that work then it's obvious you must have access to an analyser, you don't have to own one, you can borrow or hire one, but the inspector isn't stupid, if you say you fit boilers and hire an analyser to comply with the new requirement to check it then he will want to see receipts, the bottom line is you say you work safely so you will know if you have ever done any work that should have required the use of an analyser, if you have only worked on cookers or standard efficiency boilers then visual and gas rate will suffice

I took mine to 2 jobs. First thing I did was buy an analyser when I passed.the guy was sound, had me doing some gas rates, tightness tests, picked my jobs apart asked me some questions and left. Don't worry.

Had my inspection few weeks ago, took gas safe inspector to a job next door where I fitted a boiler, used fga infront of him prooved I can use the thing and have access to one, wanted to know if I have a warning pad and stickers, gas fires were removed but gas pipes were just shut by iso valve, I told him not my job but it shouldnt have open ends, he gave me cap ends to cap gas fire pipes as become our responsibility, working inlet was 17mb at boiler, gas pipe was undersized, I mentioned this to him at begining and told him work was in progress; he was happy enough to remove me off probation and see me in a years time, they just come to make sure you know what your doing and not there to get you unless your really bad

I had my gas safe visit two weeks ago, was completely bricking it.
Turned out the examiner was really good.
Plenty of questions but very relaxed, as mentioned above, the examiner is checking you know how to work safely and competently.
Didn’t have to take him to multiple jobs.
Make sure you have your earth bond leads though.
