Gas sniffer?

[stanbow]

First post on this forum!

Can anyone please recommend me a good gas leak sniffer? I currently do not have 1 but would like to buy 1, but with so many out there, and at different price ranges, I am not sure what a good one would be.

Any suggestions would be great.


Thanks


Stan

If you are gas registered as one hopes then register for the combustion chamber part of this site and ask there.

I do not hold my own gas safe registration. I have always worked for companies and been put on theirs. I hold ACS certificates.

Just wanted some recommendations.

Are you registered as an operastive, with Gas Safe?

I was working for 2 companies, at different times, and on their gas safe

all i want is a sniffer that will be useful!

You clearly aren't GS registered, and you are therefore not likely to get co-operation here. You can not work on an employers registration without being registered yourself

 

[stanbow]

what you talking about? When I started work they asked for my acs no and ni number and put my under their registration.

So, If a client asked for your GS ID (unlikely, I know, as I've NEVER been asked for it!! - since 1990), what would you do?

Yes you can, as far as I know BG won't let any of their guys even have their own registration.

No, but you have to be registered with GS as AN OPERATIVE. It doesn't allow you to carry out work on your own account, but you have to maintain registration requirements, normally at the employers expense. If my understanding is wrong, then I apologise. Baxpoti and Petit Pablo (both direct labour I understand), can you elucidate?

Which was exactly what the lad said when you picked him up on it.

You still get a card with a licence number though

No. sooey, I don't think he said that! He is "on theirs", suggests to me tht it is an internal arrangement, ie, he works and they sign it off. It's not the same as being registered as an operative. He MUST have an "operative" card from GS, and I'm guessing he didn't. I COULD be wrong, though

Hi

I did sign off my own work, gas safety's, service's, breakdown's. I held a gas safe card but was under a companies registration.

No help with the sniffer suggestions yet?
