CORGI is committed to tackling this serious gas safety issue:
We have launched a 'dobbing line' - 0800 915 0491. This hotline is for CORGI installers and members of the public to report suspected illegal gas work. Whilst individuals are able to remain anonymous, CORGI do need as much information as possible to track down those reported, such as names and addresses of both the person working on gas without CORGI registration, and any of their customers.
We have mobilised a Hit Squad. We have formed a nationwide team dedicated to dealing with the illegal problem. Their role is to work with un-registered gas workers to encourage CORGI membership and safe, legal gas work.
We fully investigate reports and where applicable pass details to the HSE. Last year 2,642 illegal gas workers were reported to CORGI and, once these were investigated, 844 were then reported to the HSE for prosecution.
