Commercial Gas Inspections & Certificates, Natural Gas & LPG
No matter what business you're in, you need to ensure that all gas equipment on site is in good working order
Firstly, it's important to know that gas safety is required by law in the workplace. The Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1998 state that:
- Every business owner must ensure all gas appliances and equipment are maintained in a safe condition, to prevent risk of injury to anyone on site.
- Every gas appliance or flue must be checked within 12 months of being installed, and then every 12 months afterwards.
- A record must be kept of every gas inspection and servicing, and retained on site.
As the owner of your business, you need to be able to fulfil all of these conditions and prove that all inspections and serving is being carried out when needed

Other reasons to set up a regular maintenance schedule include:
Keeping all occupants in your building safe: When maintenance is neglected, gas powered appliances have the potential of going wrong and causing serious injury. For example, carbon monoxide poisoning is a real risk in these cases. When you have regular servicing, you know all your staff and everyone else in your building will be kept safe.
Increase the lifespan of your equipment: having a regular maintenance will improve the lifespan of all gas equipment. As it’s being well taken care of, you’re less likely to see breakdowns that may require costly repair, or even replacement. That’s going to save you a lot of money in the long run.
Improve fuel efficiency: Any gas appliances that haven’t been serviced won’t be able to use fuel as efficiently. Taking care of equipment is important for this reason. If you service them properly, you’ll be able to get maximum fuel efficiency from them.
Improve equipment reliability: This is also important as you want to get the best possible reliability from your gas equipment. If you experience breakdown, that has a knock on effect on production and profits.
