Carbon Monoxide Alarms - Important New Legislation

As of October 1st 2015,  it is now compulsory that private sector landlords provide Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms within any rental property that contain a ‘solid fuel burning combustion appliance’.  

For further guidance about the changes, IGNITE has put together a useful information sheet to support: gas engineers, estate agents, landlords, tenants, gas operatives and advisers, working in housing and social care settings.

How can IGNITE Support further? 

IGNITE can support you further with Carbon Monoxide, offering the following courses:

• Gas Engineers: CMDDA1 
• Gas Awareness Courses: provide your employee's with a greater awareness of gas, gas safety, and how to support others by signing up to an awareness course.  For more information click here.

Call IGNITE on: 0191 258 0674 or email: info@ignitegastraining.co.uk if you would like to book a course or require further info! 

IGNITE is supporting Gas Safety Week! #GSW15

IGNITE Gas Training has pledged its support for Gas Safety Week 2015 and will be open to the public on the 19th and 20th September (Saturday and Sunday) to offer advice on how to stay safe and gas aware. We will also be stocking CO alarms (more information to follow) and have some other great offers planned too for engineers. 

IGNITE not only supports engineers but can play a valuable role by providing advice to the general public and organisations on matters such as gas safety and energy efficiency, and act as a point of contact.  

We also offer gas awareness courses to support organisations and anyone else who requires a deeper understanding of gas and heating. For more information about courses click here.

Also, check out the Gas Safe Register website.  They have some great advice and information like this video below on Carbon Monoxide poisoning.  You can also find a comprehensive list of approved gas safe registered engineers in your local area.  For more information visit their website:
