This is a nationally recognised qualification for your staff to demonstrate your commitment to gas safety. Do your staff understand gas safety issues? Do you have new starters who need to have a basic induction into gas safety issues? Increase gas safety levels for you and your staff by setting up a CORGI Level 1 VRQ Award for Gas Safety Awareness for Staff course at your organisation – designed and delivered by highly experienced CORGI tutors.
This qualification builds awareness in a non-technical way and so is suitable for internal or external social housing staff. It can be taken by staff members who visit properties or interact with tenants and those who need to understand organisational and tenant responsibilities regarding gas safety. These could include roles such as finance, tenant liaison officers or HR departments. It would be particularly useful as an induction tool for new starters to give a basic understanding of gas safety and legislation.
This VRQ Award will introduce the learner to the requirements of current gas legislation with regard to landlords, make them aware of signs of poor combustion and spillage of combustion products back into properties, enable them to recognise the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and give them the confidence to act swiftly and correctly if they do come across such issues.
This qualification is also designed for those employees who wish to increase their individual awareness of gas safety and have an introduction to the responsibilities of their organisation to comply with current legislation. This will build stronger relationships between the organisation and the tenants which will contribute to continuous improvement within this sector.
There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification.
The qualification combines a half-day guided learning event given by CORGI tutors followed by a multiple choice question paper.
