So what is your answer then?
In my opinion you post aggressive comments.
Do you do it in order to try and intimidate people?
Are you a big bully?
Post one.....
You SIR,......are a To**sser
If you are unclear that is your problem..
more likely to be intimidated
Yes, & I kill spiders....
You obviously know nothing about me so stop behaving like a child with your personal insults.
I ALWAYS test where I consider it appropriate.
.My point is simply that at my last 3 CNN1's this was specifically & thoroughly covered for obvious reasons (the servicing of a boiler being the main one) and it is not a requirement
You seem to have adopted a 'holier than thou' attitude here.
Wind yer neck in and put your case in an adult & civilised manner and I think you'll find people will take you more seriusly.
As for me giving Engineers a bad name....I won't dignify that with an answer
Bamber gaspipe said:NO...NO..NO..NO..NO...you sound like a service engineer....if you enter a property your first duty before tackling a problem regarding gas appliances is to establish that there is no leak before you start..you cannot ..as service engineers do...remove the appliance & spray whatever union/joint is remaining..there may not be a leak..LDF is rubbish anyway...Tightness test before & after.....you know it makes sense..if you are cutting corners..shame on..you

Who told you that?, there is no such duty on you at all.
Obviously trying to provoke a verbal confrontation..only time he posts..bless`im..

Ok then..
You service a fire that has no means of isolation so you have to turn off the gas at the meter before you can disconnect the fire.
Who does a tightness test?
I do (before and after.)
If the fire has an isolation valve to turn off the gas then i would turn off the gas at the isolation valve, disconnect the fire, complete work, reconnect, open isolation valve and test all joints with LDF.
Thats my understanding of it.
Fine...if she /he has a gas leak on cooker or wall heater..who is it down to...errrrrr.....YOU...Last man standing Sunbeam...
if there is another issue bothering you please make your case...& let us see if we cannot sort it...

also have to agree with scatman, who is a jolly nice person by the why who has made laugh out loud several times,

Whatever , you seem to have been told something that neither myself or anyone else I have spoken to has ever heard. You have a duty of care in that you are not allowed to ignore a potential safety issue, but you certainly don't have a responsibility to check something you are not working on or inspecting with no indications of a safety fault.
The reason I am here though is to pick up information I didn't know so by all means enlighten me.
