[stylez19]

Try the Viper book, what they aint got in there aint worth knowing.

essential gas safety latest edition (its every engineers bible) approx £18.00 from corgi website.

Yep, Corgi book as dave recommends.

Essential Gas Safety - Domestic

The viper book will be good when your on the job, but I think the Corgi book is definitely a must buy for a gas course.

i disagree, my viper books are my bibles. once you have joined gassafe they send you free of charge the ultimate bible!!

Like I said, on the job the viper book would probably be better, but whilst on the course I would recommend the Corgi book because it contains a lot more information and some of the exams are based on this book.

the current acs 'exams' are based on a defunct governing bodies book ??

dosnt seem correct to me.

completed my asc, core and appliances last week, everything that I needed to lookup was found in the Viper.
Don't leave home without it.

The regulations are still the same, just because it has changed to gas safe, doesn't mean that there are suddenly a load of new rules, regulations and standards that you have to comply to.

Gas Safe/Corgi/Capita do not make the rules, they are just there to make sure you don't break them and to make sure those working on gas do so safely.

good can of worms youve opend up antz, you may get beaten with a stick ! good luck

 

[anz]

antz???

Your getting a bit cheeky there, Grandad!

You might as well admit defeat, I'm right.

i dont think it matters what book you use, as others have said they simply quote the regs and BS docs, viper and new bpec books are in colour, not sure about the others, surely you will get books from your training provider? who are you doing your training with

niether of you is right thats my wifes role in life

 

[LIFES A GAS]

Gas Safe/Corgi/Capita do not make the rules, they are just there to make sure you don't break them and to make sure those working on gas do so safely.

And there I was thinking they were there to rip us off and make loads of money!

I'll let you off, but I'm not wrong.

Oh and sorry I'm not interested

And there I was thinking they were there to rip us off and make loads of money!

Well that as well.

treloar has a good gas book for learning about the trade. For regs and rules I use the corgi manual or bpec's own training material which does go out of date as all books do but their latest version is very good, similar to viper.

ps. isnt viper only available in pdf and you got to print it out yourself?

no, you can get an a5 binder book for about £50 if you join their site with all updates and free acces to other pdf books or print of a spare copy.

Here's your best up to date gas ref book,get bidding and grab a good deal

GAS SAFETY BOOK (G1) LATEST EDITION on eBay (end time 13-Mar-10 16:04:52 GMT)

I do not know the seller but the same book I use,I also have a viper for quick ref but above all up to date,give or take a few months

They do not change the regs but they do like to twist and stretch them this way and that, as far as possible,just to keep us on our toes,mainly reaching up to the piggy bank to keep buying up to date books
