Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords must make sure that their properties are equipped with a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in place. This certificate shows that a licensed engineer has inspected every gas appliance and flues within a property, and has confirmed that they are safe to use. All Gas Safe engineers carry a photo identification card which you should request to see before any work is done at your home. The card demonstrates that the engineer is registered on the Gas Safe Register. Safety Certificates A gas safety certificate, also known as a CP12 is an official document that confirms the safe operation of your gas appliances and flues. Gas safe registered engineers have to issue the certificate. It is a legal requirement for landlords, hotel owners and B&B owners. It is recommended that homeowners have an annual gas safety inspection performed annually by a certified tradesperson to help prevent dangerous accidents. The CP12 is used to confirm that a trained and competent engineer has assessed all the gas appliances and equipment within your property. They will examine critical data to determine if the installation is operating correctly and in compliance with necessary safety protocols. They will also inspect flues and chimneys to ensure they are safe. If a problem is discovered, the engineer will note it on the CP12 and will take the necessary steps to rectify it. The engineer will then issue a revised version to confirm the security of all gas equipment. Gas Safety (Installation and Utilization) Regulations from 1998 stipulate that landlords must conduct annual inspections on their gas appliances that are not domestic and flues. Failure to follow the rules could result in severe fines or penalties. During the inspection, the engineer will test all appliances within the building, as well as their connections and flues. The engineer will also assess the condition of any gas-related installation such as the boiler or the pipework. They will also record the findings on the CP12 which is required to be provided to tenants within 28 days of the inspection. Boats and vehicles for leisure accommodation that are used for recreation purposes like lodges and caravans, must be regularly inspected by a registered gas safe engineer to ensure they are in good working order. The engineer will examine every gas appliance and equipment in the boat or vehicle, including the flues and connection points. The engineer will then provide the owner a "Landlord Gas Safety Record for Leisure Accommodation", or CP2.

It is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas that can poison people who inhale it. This is because it can affect the blood and brain. Carbon monoxide detectors, or audible alarms are the most effective method to detect CO leaks. It is also a good idea to ensure that your gas appliances and flues inspected regularly by a Gas Safe registered engineer. A leak of carbon monoxide gas was reported at a primary school located in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. Emergency services were dispatched to Martins Wood Primary School in Mildmay Road shortly after 13:00 BST on Wednesday. Police, firefighters and the East of England Ambulance Service were on the scene. One patient was treated at the scene by the South Central Ambulance Service for suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. If you suspect that you might have CO leak, it is important to take a breather and turn off all gas appliances immediately. It is also advisable to contact your gas company and ask them to isolate the gas supply at the meter. It is also recommended to open the windows and doors to let air circulate.
