Recommendation 17
17
Implement measures to prevent recurrence of overdue gas safety certificates in service accommodation.
Conclusion
In a situation in which the contractor has no way of gaining entry to service accommodation without the occupier’s consent to carry out safety checks, and no option to cut supply, a very small number of properties are likely to have overdue gas safety certificates. However, the situation in 2023 with overdue certificates had clearly got out of control. The DIO must put in place measures to ensure that a similar situation cannot happen again. (Recommendation, Paragraph 80)
