Goldberg, it is nothing to do with the worlds problems, it is to do with legally been allowed to work on gas.

Quite so. But the fact remains that the risk manifested in the work of someone who is competent but unregistered is low, and of little interest to most people.

 

[Goldberg]

at no point do gassafe advise you to ask for a competant engineer but a REGISTERED one.

So what? Capita didn't make the law, and it's obvious than being competent is far more important than being registered - the latter is just a formality (albeit an pricey one).

that is the attitude gas installers have been living with and are trying to get rid of.

"it ok missus im not registered but i know what im doing"

"my mate will fill in the paperwork"

Rules are rules if we all thought like that why would we pay our gas safe every year when we would only have to pay for our ACS every 5 years to remain competent YOU ARE A FOOL GOLDTURD

was it just a formality when you sat your acs and had the inspector round for tea and biscuits?

Perhaps, but it's not an "attitude" that I'm presenting here.

Please take my comment in context - the assertion is that Agile is not registered. I haven't said that it applies to anyone else.

I don't know whether or not Agile is registered, and, as I've said, I don't care - I don't care because I believe him to be competent, and that's so enormously more important than being registered.

If you think he isn't competent then a different argument applies, but nobody here seems to have claimed that he's not competent.

 

[BingoBongo]

because neither you or i have seen his work.so how can you say he is competent?????????

anyone can read from a manifacturers instructions or a building regs booklet and say how it should be done.

putting them into practice is another thing.

I don't know why you insist on reading more into my words than I intended to be there. If you're unsure as to the meaning, just ask.

To save you asking, when I write "registration", I'm referring to the act of registering with Capita, i.e. becoming a member of the Gas Safe Register, and thereby becoming a member of the class of persons etc. as stipulated by the GS(IU)R. I'm not referring to the training leading up to, and the taking of, an ACS assessment, because that's the precondition to registration, not part of registration.

Someone who takes and passes their ACS assessment, and then chooses not to register with Capita, is still a competent person, but is legally prohibited from working with gas because they aren't registered. The latter is just a formality, and of course it's a very important formality, generally.

However. in the context of namsag's grievance against Agile, the formality of registration is unimportant to me. You, or others, might have a different opinion, but you, and/or many others, seem to be incapable of expressing yours without it riding on stream of abuse and personal comments.

 

[Goldberg]

because neither you or i have seen his work.so how can you say he is competent?

I can say it because this country offers all of us freedom of speech, and because it's my honest opinion.

If you have a different opinion, then you're equally entitled to express it. However, when you joined the forum you agreed to express yourself in a helpful and non-abusive way.

If you think Agile is incompetent, then just say so. You'll be the first on this topic to say it, and it would be a defamatory statement, so you might want to be sure of your facts first.

An inspector round?

Goldburg is not registered, so unless he made a complain about gaswork done by someone else, no inspector is likely to have visited him.
