Gas Safe Register is launching a competition, open to all Gas Safe registered engineers, to recognise the great work they do as the nation’s everyday heroes.
Entrants will need to share an everyday hero story by the 16th September, detailing how they have helped make people ‘gas safe’. Alternatively, entrants will also be able to nominate someone else who has a hero story that they believe should be recognised. All stories should be submitted here.
Gas Safe’s favourite stories will then be put to an anonymous online vote during Gas Safety Week 2018, with the story receiving the most votes winning an Anton Sprint eVo3 Kit 3.
The kit includes an IR printer, flue probe, cooker probe, flueless gas fire probe, gas leak detector, pressure relief valve, 2x temperature clamps, carry bag and charger – plus Bluetooth communication with the Andorid app, which allows PDF reports to be emailed to customers.
Gas Safety Week aims to raise awareness around the dangers of faulty gas appliances to help protect families from gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning. With Gas Safe registered engineers playing an essential role in keeping the nation safe, this competition will aim to share and celebrate their work.
The eighth annual Gas Safety Week can be supported in the following ways:

Jonathan Samuel, Chief Executive of Gas Safe Register, said: “We know that so many engineers go above and beyond to help their customers stay gas safe. This Gas Safety Week we are launching a competition to recognise how registered gas engineers are the nation’s everyday heroes.”
