As part of the NCASS commitment to increase standards around LPG usage and safety within the hospitality sector, we have created our Gas Engineer Partnerships.
Many people become NCASS members because of our high quality and high regard for compliance and safety. As the profile of our sector is becoming more prominent, it is important for our sector to take steps to further improve LPG safety through self-governance.
The Gas Engineer Partnerships ensure that our members can access assured and competent gas engineers that meet the standards we have set, so members can rest assured they are acting and operating in compliance. You can find out more about our Gas Engineer Partnerships here.
As part of LPG Gas Safety Week 2024, we queried a host of the gas engineers we work with about the importance of LPG gas safety when it comes to catering:
“First port of call before buying equipment should be an LPG Gas Safe Registered Engineer” – Neville Johnny
“Ventilation is absolutely essential for the safe use of gas fired appliances, and it is the only thing in catering that is absolutely free! Carbon Monoxide is a gas that is invisible and has no smell and could cause irreversible health implications and death. Ensure you get as much fresh (free) air as is vital to ensure your safe working environment.” – Marc Rowson
“Always check the engineer on the Gas Safe Website before using them to ensure they are qualified to work on Mobile LPG Catering Equipment it takes a few minutes to do and will save you paying out twice.” – Shaun Marshall
“Don’t buy a catering unit blind and certainly don’t trust the word of the seller. Always enlist the expert advice of a competent and suitably qualified gas engineer and reap the benefits.” – Richard Stowe
“If you think gas safety is expensive, try paying for an accident.” – Brian Penny
“Gas safety doesn’t have to be expensive, but it does have to be right! Check your engineer.” – Steve Arnaud
