your wrong read the regs carefully
I cannt see any reference to financial reward in the regs however part 2 defines work and unless you are competant then you cant work on gas for reward or not. To be allowed to work on gas items etc you must be competant and this is defined as having the correct qualifications to allow you to register with gas safe and this then allows you to be insured to work on the gas side in any property. So if your covered by your employer to work but not self emplloyed, you cant work in accordance with e regs on your own or other friends kit.. Simply put this is to ensure you are covered by insurance etc and if you do cock up somehow and kill your granny, any court is going to deal with you in a severe manner as you carried out work in contravention of the gas regs. Its really simple and despite what the bloke on the end of a phone says its the basrristers in this world who apply the regsin the long term and having chatted to one recently and shown him the regs, my advice is to leave well alone unless you are self employed or have a gas safe number in your own name if your an employee, as you wont win the arguement of relying on regs 3,1 as you need to take into account section 2s definitions, you need to read a bit deeper to understand the regs , so kirkgas is probably right in what he said.
work” in relation to a gas fitting includes any of the following activities carried out by any person, whether an employee or not, that is to say—
(a)
installing or re-connecting the fitting;
(b)
maintaining, servicing, permanently adjusting, disconnecting, repairing, altering or renewing the fitting or purging it of air or gas;
(c)
where the fitting is not readily movable, changing its position; and
(d)
removing the fitting;
i stick by my statement you are wrong and if what you are saying was brought up in a in a court case the individual would have his nads cut off simple you must be competent and registered to do anything involving gas work employed,self employed, foc, or fidderling you may in fairness fuzzy be reading the reg and fully understanding its meaning but reality comes back and bites you on the arse and it has sharp teeth so i stick by my original reply to the op ....NO
hi all, being gas registered through a company, can we do gas work ie: A boiler change for family?
so why do the hse keep taking people to court who have previously passed their acs and been corgi/gas safe registered and prosecuted them for illegal works, it must be because they arent competant in the eyes of the law, simple really and therefore fuzz your understanding of the regs cannt be quite right can it!!
They take them to court because they are not gas safe registered and they are contrevning regulation 3 (3)
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.
If you are doing gas work for family you are not employed, therefore it dont count. Not being gas safe registered does not mean you are not competant does it?
So sorry to put you right, no hard feelings, may i point out once again i am 100% right
