About Gas Safe Register

Gas Safe Register is the official gas registration body for the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. By law, gas businesses and engineers must be registered to carry out gas work legally. The register helps protect the public from unsafe gas work by maintaining the official list of competent businesses and engineers, supporting inspections, investigating safety concerns and raising awareness of gas safety standards.

Capita delivers the Gas Safe Register service under a concession arrangement with the Health and Safety Executive and related authorities. Together, we help maintain gas safety standards and give consumers confidence that gas work is carried out safely, legally and professionally.
