From
April the Corgi Gas Register was replaced by the Gas Safe Register.
The Health and Safety Executive hold the brand "Gas Safe
Register TM" in trust to ensure that it remains the official
mark for the gas safety register.
A
spokesman for Staveley Head, one of the county's leading commercial
insurance brokers, said:
"The
Corgi Gas Register in Great Britain ended on 31st March 2009.
There has been an extensive publicity campaign to make those people
working in the trade aware of the change and to encourage them
to re-register with the Gas Safe Register in order for them to
comply with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations
1998 and be able to carry on work."
The
Health and Safety Executive has delegated to the Gas Safe Register
the sole responsibility for collating and recording the registration
details of all certified contractors who are registered to undertake
gas work in Great Britain and the Isle of Man.
The
Staveley Head spokesman went on to say "The majority of people
working in the gas trade and holding commercial insurance policies
will find that their commercial insurance companies will amend
the policy wording in their documentation to accommodate this
change either mid-term or at the latest when their renewal falls
due. The policyholders do not need to do anything, other than
advise their business insurance brokers if they have not yet registered
for the Gas Safe Register."
