Health & Safety News: Gas checks 'are vital'

Ensuring gas appliances are safe in rental properties is one of the many health and safety issues for landlords to consider.

Jeff Learman, director of communications at Gas Safe Register, pointed out that cost is what deters many people from booking an annual safety check on their gas devices.

"But would we, for example, go year on year without checking our car to ensure it’s safe? We should be doing the same with gas appliances once a year, and even though some would say price is an issue, what cost for the safety of our family?"

Given that carbon monoxide poisoning can kill, paying a small, one-off fee once a year is not something that should be skipped.

Landlords with property to rent in London and other parts of the UK have a legal requirement to arrange a gas safety check within 12 months of a new appliance or flue being installed, and a yearly check thereafter.

Those renting out property must also give each tenant a copy of the safety check within 28 days of the inspection being completed.
