This short, knowledge building ‘Back to Basics’ session has been designed to provide a great introductory gas safety overview, starting out with how legislation and regulations dictate the wide variety of landlord responsibilities, including recent changes to the regulations.

The session then moves through specific competencies required to work on different gas appliances, the importance of accurate gas record keeping and other safety checks and to finish off, the roles of both Gas Safe and SGN.

The webinar provides an introductory overview of what we feel are some of the core elements for Scottish social landlords for gas safety compliance and, most importantly, tenant & resident safety.
