surely theres something illegal about this?

Hi all, ive recently been at college doing my gas course CCN 1, & 4 appliances, the bloke i used to work for (i went self employed last year) has suggested that once i get my qualifications in gas i can go onto his gas safe registration as its cheaper for me that way. the thing is im not to sure thats entirely legal. can i go into a property under my company name and use a gas safe registration with my name on it but the other guys company name on it? doesnt seem right to me and i cant find any guidance on the gas safe website either.

any advice?

Cheers fellas.

If its the same as the Elec regs then i would hazard a guess at no as the answer.

One of the lads will probably clarify it when they log on.

I would get your own unless cards in and genuinely working for him 90% of the time, what happems when you need to notify your work or if something hits the fan legal wise? Gas Safe will let you join pro rata unlike Corgi so you get a full year whenever you join. Seems like a lot of money now,esp in current climate but once you paid for new business fee and years membership you will only have to pay yearly subs from then on. Good luck.

if you have proved your competent, you will hace a logic card.
with that logic card you personally can register with gas safe.
the gas safe registration allows you to work on gas.

if you work for a company, and they have you registered on their books, then you may work on gas unsupervised on the companies jobs only, you cannot work on your own private jobs.

gas safe require an additional payment from yourself if you wish to work on your own jobs.

i dont know where your company standsif you register and then work for a company, the best bet is to speak to gas safe, and get approval in writing before you start any gas work !!

let us know how you get on.

hi guys. i got a reply from Gas Safe today. my suspicions were confirmed,

Long answer short is,,, i can use the card with my name on it but hos company name on if the work is being done for his company but if i do work through my company then i must have my company registered aswell. gotta keep it legal. i had a funny feeling that was the answer i'd get.

Cheers everyone. hope this helps others with the same query,
