Identifying a Gas Safe Registered Engineer

While Gas Safe Register help protect you from illegal gas workers, it will always help if you yourself know how to identify a qualified worker when you need some gas work done at home.  First thing that you need to do is ask for their Gas Safe Register ID.

What do you need to look at are the photo, license number, start and expiry date, security hologram and you have to make sure that the engineer is from the gas service company that you employed.
