Flogas Module 1 Autogas Unit

Parker27 · Jan 4, 2017

I have been asked to quote for a supply to a small gas tank installation, I have never worked on gas before, I do not have issues with the electrical work but am unsure:

If I am allowed or insured to carry out this type of work?
What other areas do I need to consider?

Please be gentle with me!

i imagine that it's perfectly OK for you to install a supply for the unit. will that be a FCU?. as for connecting gas, you'd need to be gas safe registered.

I was a bit suspicious that I could do this work as there is no mention in BS7671 about gas tanks, so with a bit of further digging I found:

Electrical work within hazardous places should only be carried out by suitably trained personnel who can prove competence in the type of work being undertaken. Individual electricians should have successfully completed suitable training appropriate to the tasks to be undertaken and reflecting the Electricity at Work Regulations and the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations. (For many types of work this will mean a COMP ‘Ex’ or similar training course) and their training suitably recorded, e.g. an appropriately endorsed “Joint Industries Board” (JIB) card. A JIB card includes a summary of training on the back of the card.
