GSR costs

[Koogatubac]

Think the assessment should be altered,

Think the GAS SAFE inspector should be inspecting employees aswell as employers/sole traders

I asked this question to gas safe and they said that they only inspect employers. Alot of employees who work on gas i think shouldnt be touching wet plumbing works never mind gas

I agree, but how could this situation be changed, when the majority of gas installers seem to be for it...according to the competence review and the fact that this system exists.

Totally agree clanger.
Seems gas safe are only interested in either money money money or if any1 dies.

Such a shame when alot are working on gas illegally etc

When you reflect on this long enough and start to look behind the gas safe mantra, you will understand that illegal gas installers are not really the problem...it's the legal ones who think they are competent through said ACS courses and dubious assessment processes. The hard working family businesses, and those who have worked hard for decades to build up good reputations are the ones that have lost out, along with the public, who no longer know who to employ.

Probs is the illegal workers get away with it, while GSR registered people get it rough. its the owners responsibility to make sure the person working on the appliance is gas safe.

agree, you have loads now jumping on board who are becoming gsr after doing a poxy course, with hardly any on site experience ?

Just makes it worse for people who've been at it for years really if you ask me

Probs is you believe this. Ask yourself what led you to this belief.

GSR people get it rough because there is a system in place which is not geared for them, its geared for CAPITA, training centres, awarding bodies and employer representative organisations - who looks after the self employed?

Its time to think beyond the 'illegal installer' which is the red herring put there by Gas Safe, to help you to look no further, and accept this scandalous system which allows people to work on gas after a few hours of assessment and a few weeks of work experience at best.
