Working on gas lines

[scoz]

Thankyou for your input everyone, it was nice of you to answer my question. As I was factory based I can understand about the gas safe for domestic work but as I do not intend in carrying out any work it was just a hypothetical question. Thanks

I have been a maintenance engineer for over 40 years working on steam, air, oil and gas all my working life

Hello Scoz
I presume it was process Plant/burners/ Boilers you worked on?

Yes you are right, also glass furnaces running on oil and gas. As a maintenance engineer I have had to have the knowledge to work on everything in the factory including installation and maintenance of all services and machinery. That is why I asked the hypothetical question as I could never understand how I was able to work on pipe work up to 6” but not allowed on 15mm domestic. From the experience I have had with mainly British Gas engineers they wouldn’t know what competence was if it hit them round the face. I have had so many secondary faults caused by gas engineers that I have gone to the small gas engineer as they seem more competence.

What would you say if it was the other way round. A domestic gas fitter wanting to work in the factory?

If he was competent to carry out the work there would be no problem. Competence is the key word.

I am going to close this thread now as to me you want to be put on a pedestal and worshiped as a gas engineer.goodnight
