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.


Dave you are wrong. Perhaps if I post this enough time you might get to
see it


You are NOT considered 'competent' to work on gas unless you are gas safe
registared.


Wrong, as always.

It really is that simple.


Wrong, as always.

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998

Sorry Dave, Clive's correct and GasSafe are fudging the interpretation.

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1.../contents/made

Quoting:

3. (1) No person shall carry out any work in relation to a gas fitting
or gas storage vessel unless he is competent to do so.

...

(3) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraphs (1) and (2) above
and subject to paragraph (4) below, no employer shall allow any of his
employees to carry out any work in relation to a gas fitting or service
pipework and no self-employed person shall carry out any such work,
unless the employer or self-employed person, as the case may be, is a
member of a class of persons approved for the time being by the Health
and Safety Executive for the purposes of this paragraph.

It's basically between those 2 paragraphs.
