promoting illegal gas work?

[Beeline]

every one i biuisness has done something a bit dodgy at some time to get them selves started the richer they are they dodgier the deeds done
just look where mandelson is now

what ****es me of about the pricing structure is the larger the company the cheaper it is why should BG get there registrations done for a fraction of the cost of mine

BG and Centrica are the same people "almost", check google, i think that might answer your question.
GSR should be a service, not a business. Costs to register should never be partly to line pockets. They should wholly go towards providing support to us, and gaining 100% recognition of the brand.
I reckon for me about 90% of new customers still say CORGI FFS!
If i spent what i paid for registering on a GSR ad in my local paper i would get a much better result than they do with thier multinational infrastructure.
Damn capitalism to hell!

ive just written them a letter, stating clearly my qualifications, showing my gas safe registration serial number (through my employer) stating my intention to work on gas appliances, and the fact that i am not willing to pay so much extra for doing so. will post the reply when it arrives if ever.

BG, and Centrica are one and the same animal, Gas Safe is administered by Capita for the HSE, google capita, and see if you come to the same conclusion as I have about them, for what its worth I think that they are a load of sharks who brought the job from the government by bunging the labour party a million quid, and want to get the money back from the gas safe fees

But lets have your comments on what I have posted below


1) All gas boilers, cookers, and fires, have a 1% tariff on them, to help pay training costs, and inspections

2) All the above appliances to be bar coded at works, with the bar code registered at gas safe

3) The bar code is the link when the appliance is sold on to the final user

4) Gas safe uses the bar code to tie-in the appliance and installer, and also the land lords certificate, etc, it could also be used for safety recalls etc


My reasoning is that if the UK can ear tag every farm animal for traceability, (this is an EU wide regulation, and for meat animals, it goes from birth to the end butcher, so that the animal can be traced right through the food chain) it should be a fairly simple operation to do this for gas appliances

The way it would work

When an appliance is sold from works to wholesaler, the bar code is scanned in and sent electronically to gas safe, the same for wholesaler to retail/trade seller

With the retail/trade seller it would be slightly different; for a trade purchaser who was gas safe, the appliance bar code and the gas safe installer's bar code (on his ticket) would be combined (to link appliance and fitter), If the person was not gas safe registered, a verifiable name and address would have to be provided before sale, the name and address together with the bar code of the appliance, would be sent on to gas safe

Appliances sold to a person not on the register would be the first subject to inspection, then the gas safe probationers next in line for inspection

Any person who refuses to allow a gas safe inspection to be carried out would have the supply disconnected or be banned from having any more LPG supplies, until the installation was inspected and found to be to the current standards

The property owner should also have a copy of the inspection report, which should be kept on file, and be produced if requested by a gas safe person, together with any other gas work documentation, (work carried out after the last inspection)
