Boilers
(asked on 11th July 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of the average number of boilers installed per year per Gas Safe registered engineer.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) holds the Gas Safe Register (GSR) Service Concession Agreement.
GSR maintain the register of businesses and operatives who are competent to undertake both piped natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) work in domestic and commercial premises in Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Guernsey.
GSR does not collect data on the “average number of boilers installed per year per Gas Safe engineer”, but does hold information on the numbers of engineers and notifications received for installation of domestic gas boilers.
Further information about GSR and domestic gas health and safety can be found on HSE’s website. Gas Safe Register (hse.gov.uk)
In England and Wales from the 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022
