Clearing up some Misconceptions of IGEM/G/11 edition 2 unsafe safe situations procedure for gas. 

Very informative video which will be very useful to a lot of people within our industry, the first one could be down to the engineering judgement of the individual, personally I would AR it, on the day of your test the readings are below 10 ppm CO, so you are checking for an ID situation, so already the potential is there for a future issue, if something goes wrong with combustion, a regulator fails, with the wind in the right direction then potential is there for risk to life and property. I’ve been in the industry over 43 years as an engineer, manager, assessor, training then finishing my years off as an engineer. Engineers are always going to differ in their opinions, different organisations have differing procedures and views on classifications, this doesn’t help the industry, At the end of the day if anything did happen and you ended up with a prosecution Barrister questioning your actions, who will have done their research and had ‘experts’ advising them, could your actions have covered the requirements of the industry and did you do enough to advise and protect the casualties involved, I would still go with AR specifically on the grounds your checking for the ID situation initially with your room sweep, therefore you are already looking at potential. People may disagree but I’ve always been a little twitchy around flues close to openings into properties where re entry is possible, previous experiences have opened my eyes to the risks working in this industry.

Great video mate!!! Love the layman's simple explanations! Keep them coming

Cheers Derek once again great stuff.

Alright Derek , I've looked at the meter box situation, now I would not AR that one simply because 2.8 is specifically referring to a situation where there is a pathway for gas to enter a property , so a semi concealed meter box in a wall ,so if you had a damaged box or no sleeve etc you could get a pathway for gas to enter the property . A sunken meter box has no pathway to inside the premises so if gas was escaping it's going straight to atmosphere. If the meter was corroded due to the water ingress then I would class AR but until then just a NCS for me . Keep up the good work as you have great content .

Quality mate 💪 thoroughly enjoyed your efforts here .

Another brilliant, informative vid!

another Great vid Derek.

As usual, great video!

Thanks Derek great video 👍

Thanks Derek great explanation . And re cap for me

Makes a lot of sense. Thank you

Mad that the first one is ncs Literally depends on what way the wind is blowing as to if it’s ID or not That’s why I AR that issue

Thanks Derrek

Thank you, Nikola Ditsov

Thank you Mr Derek. Can you please make a video on the scope of commercial and domestic installations. I was trying to get some advice on gas safe Facebook page regarding the installation of a boiler in a mosque. Some engineers said I am not allowed to install it as the building is not a dwelling. I replied by arguing the it is the installation volume that determines the scope of the installation ( 0.035m3). Thanks

Over the years I have issued four Riddors but never heard anything from it. Not sure if that is the usual procedure but I did my bit

It's time to watch Tomkat. Oh no but I have to work. I guess I can see this as training🤔.

Sup D 👋 do ya do any breakdown or fault finding scenario videos? What to look for leaks/spillage wise on a service ie crust on a heat exchanger! Be very helpful as learning be a repair engineer in few months! 👍

Ace bud.

With regard to the flue, years ago 2 faults in the same category would be upgraded. Is that still the case? If so that installation would be upgraded to AR due to being too close to the openable window and also within 150 of the opening to the fabric of the building ie, the window frame itself

Hi Derek, do you have a video on online inspection and what's involved , I understand its all about unsafe situations but with the requirement of microphone and speakers is there anything more to it . Really just to prepare Or is the microphone just to communicate about how your doing ect

On the meter box being damaged is at risk do you put sticker on meter box and with customer’s permission turn whole gas installation off at the meter ?? Cheers

Bryan Williams great

Hello, not an argument but the picture at the start I would class as "at risk " the weather on that day would influence the results ,if that was a manufacturer that allowed 350ppm there could easily be conditionswhere the products enter the room.

Can we just turn off at user controls for AR Derek say a boiler

Fueled gas fire in a living room with no ventilation is ID?

So that flue at the start is NCS not AR?

I disagree with the meter box. That regulation is regarding a pathway to the property via a damaged box. A broken lid on an external box does not offer a pathway in to the property at all.
