On-Site Safety Checks

On Site Safet Checks

Gas welding and cutting equipment must be checked regularly. The British Compressed Gases Association (BCGA’s) code of Practice 7 (CP7) (the safe use of oxy-fuel gas equipment) and Guidance Notes 7 (GN7) (the safe use of individual portable or mobile cylinder gas supply equipment) recommends that regulators and flashback arrestors be checked annually and replaced every five years.

Checks need to be undertaken by a person who has sufficient practical experience of oxy-fuel gas equipment and theoretical knowledge of the functioning of the equipment, the properties of gases used, the potential defects and hazards that may occur and their importance to the integrity and safety of the equipment.

BOC CP7 and GN7 Checks

BOC CP7 and GN7 checks are available for only £40.00 per set (excluding VAT) and are performed by a qualified BOC Industrial Inspector (certified by City and Guilds). The inspection includes:
