Spotted this article in a mag recently (though a September issue...)
^ I thought this was illegal?
Then from another thread read I got this;
The mag didn't seem to condemn what the guy did, despite running regular gas safe columns, awareness articles etc.
Is what he did legal/illegal?
Thanks

Just in case you need proof, taken from GSIUR regulations 1998
Regulation
work on a gas fitting to be carried out only by a competent person; and employers of gas fitting operatives, together with other specified persons (eg those in control of the work such as building contractors), to ensure that operatives have the required competence for the particular work being done. Employers of persons carrying out work on gas fittings/service pipework and self-employed persons doing this work are required to be a member of a class of persons approved by HSE; at the time of publication of this ACOP/guidance this means that they should be registered with the Gas Safe Register
Definitions of a gas fitting
“gas fitting” means gas pipework, valves (other than emergency controls), regulators and meters, and fittings, apparatus and appliances designed for use by consumers of gas for heating, lighting, cooking or other purposes for which gas can be used
The mag didn't seem to condemn what the guy did, despite running regular gas safe columns, awareness articles etc.
