We’re proud to be supporting Gas Safety Week 2014, which takes place over the course of a week between 15th and 21st September. We’ve pledged our support because as writers of software for gas installers, we’re always eager to support safety initiatives in the plumbing and heating industry.

This annually held event is designed to promote a more safety conscious industry and consumer base. Organised by the Gas Safe Register, the event promotes the importance of taking care of appliances, which includes correct installation and regular servicing.

Badly fitted and poorly serviced gas appliances have been the cause of many otherwise preventable fatalities over the years. Around 40 people in England and Wales die needlessly from carbon monoxide poisoning every year, as well as thousands of cases of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The gas cannot be seen, tasted or smelt, yet has the potential to kill in minutes with no warning whatsoever. The only way to help protect your family is with the use of a carbon monoxide detector and ensuring that anyone who installs or maintains your gas appliances is Gas Safe registered.

Our gas installer software is designed for Gas Safe engineers to use in the field. They can easily create gas safety certificates for both domestic landlords and commercial applications. Engineers can collect all form data electronically including signature capture. Back in the office, JobLogic offers a powerful asset management system which is great for scheduling maintenance tasks.

To show our support for Gas Safety week, we’re publishing a series of articles, infographics and videos to promote ways companies can be Gas Safe. From the JobLogic twitter account, we will be tweeting and re-tweeting using the hashtags #GasSafetyWeek and #GasSafetyWeek2014. Please follow @JobLogicUK and show your support for a safer nation.

If you’re a gas safe installer, take a demo of our software to see how we can help make staying gas safe easier and more cost effective.
