It's Gas Safety Week: 14th-20th September 2026

Sadly we often find issues with gas installations and some rouge gas traders through our work at CLEAPSS.

Please check you benches for movement, and use the CLEAPSS Helpline if you are unsure about advice given to you about upgrades you 'have to have by law'.... (often they aren't actually required!)

This video highlights some of the issues we (sadly) find routinely in schools.
