Safety and Comfort in the Workplace

The two things that Heaters Wholesale focus on is the safety and the comfort of all of our valued customers. These are our top priorities.

 

We only use gas safe registered, and safe contractor approved engineers.

 

What is the safe contractor register and how does that affect me?

 The safe contractor register is a health and safety assessment scheme which was developed to ensure peace of mind that any contractors or engineers that you are using, are competent in the execution of all health and safety aspects of the construction industry including:

Risk Assessments

First Aid
Asbestos removal

 The gas safety register was created for your safety. It ensures that the engineers are fully qualified in the use of gas appliances, but there are different forms, some are registered to work on domestic appliances only and some for both Industrial and appliances, you should always expect your engineer to carry their gas safe registration card.

 

How do you know if they are gas safe registered and qualified to work on your industrial heaters?

 

Heating engineers should always carry their gas safe registration card with them, and they should present this upon arrival. If they don't then before they carry out any work you should ask to see this. You will be looking for 4 different characteristics on this card which are:

 

1.       The photograph of the engineer as confirmation that they are who they say they are.
2.       The start date and expiry date. If the card is out of date then the engineers is no longer permitted to work on gas appliances and should not carry out any work on your heating equipment.
3.       Their unique licence number.
4.       Gas safe security hologram logo at the bottom of the card to confirm the authenticity.

 

If all of the above criteria are not met they are not legally permitted to work on any gas appliances.

 Should all of the above be present, you need to check their qualifications to establish that they are qualified to work on your equipment. On the reverse of the card the there is a list of all the relevant qualifications that the individual holds, the start date and the end date of each qualification, ensure that you check these, as they may no longer be valid. The most basic qualification that should be listed on all gas safe cards is pipework, check that this is stated on the card. Engineers that are qualified to work on commercial heating will also be qualified to work on domestic appliance, although each one will be listed separately.

 Remember that if an engineer is qualified to work on domestic appliance this does not automatically

Mean that they can work on industrial heaters.
