that's why you suggested ignore H&S and DIYing the job because
according
to you you don;lt need to be gas safe to work on your own home.

LEGALLY you can do the work on your own home, ****wit.

No you can't, well NOT gas work, unless you have the required cert.

Wrong, the law says you have to be 'competent' (see discussions here
before)

Where does the LAW say that.
Have you actually read up on it I thought not.

Are we _really_ going through this again?

whisky-dave, you're wrong. Try looking at the law, not the
interpretation of it from people who stand to gain from saying it's
illegal to do stuff.

Then I need a superior being such as yourself to show me that law.

Can you tell me why you've not shown me that law ?

That has been show to you REPEATEDLY.

The problem is that you are completely blotto, as always
and that's why you can never remember what your stupid
nose has been rubbed in time after time after time on this.

If you show me a law that say I can work on gas myself then I believe you.

That has happened repeatedly now, and you have just forgotten already.

Do I have to use a Gas Safe registered engineer to complete gas work?


Anyone employed to work on gas appliances in domestic premises must be
a Gas Safe registered engineer link to external website and competent
in that area of gas work.


Sigh.......

Yes, if someone is doing the work for reward, they have to be Gas Safe
registered.

You can do your own work if you are 'competent', as has been pointed out
to you a number of times now.


NO you can NOT.

you have to be 'competent' yes but also be gas safe. Even those that are gas safe aren't allowed to work on instalations they are NOT 'competent'to work on.

They got rid of the idea mthat if you work for nothiong you only have to be 'competent' years ago.
The idea that if you didn;t pay anyponme to do your gas work then it's OK was found to be a flawed idea, because people were getting the clueless in that said they were 'competent' tpo do the job because they weren;'t being paid.

Which was a lie, they weren;t being paid in the normal sense of the word but perhaps you've heard of the phrase a 'drink in it for you' peolpe were doing those jobs claiming to be 'competent' rather than qualified.

Afterall ypuo couild be quite 'competent' in gas in sopme countries where the regulations aren't as stricted as in the UK, and they could be quite 'competent' but ubnless thy've read the H&S of teh country they are working in then how can they be 'competent' ?
