If you are meaning that bg came close to feeling a corporate manslaughter investigation recently and that has led them to take every opportunity to slap disciplinary safety offences on engineers to cover their arses then yes, you're spot on.

I had a small job painting and weatherstripping a doorframe for a friend's elderly mother. As usual I gave the plumbing a quick look over while I was there, and this is what I found - it's a British Gas install, I'm told.
