Gas safe regs - what gas work can be undertaken by other tradespersons?

[gav8]

Why would a plumber watch ' DIY basic soldering' come on mate, get a grip on reality and stop dreaming

I never even mentioned soldering, what are you going on about? As an example, there are hundreds more..

And being in the magic circle renders them fit to advise on the legalities of promoting DIY gas repair?

Yes, in regards liability to us, it certainly does and once again, we are not promoting DIY gas repair.

You answered my original question with a question. I wanted to know why videos would be useful at a FE college where they promote hands on learning? we have NEVER watched video, and especially nothing from youtube, unless it's too laugh at some clueless diy'er trying to stop water pouring everywhere.

You can buy gas dvd's though, just googled it. If its such a massive lucrative market why hasn't everybody jumped on the bandwagon? Why not ask for funding from gas safe? Or maybe just putting their names to it. I think you'd be wasting our time in my honest opinion. And that opinion is from somebody who you were potentially aiming these at, a student. I wish you luck in your venture.

I knew there would be a lot of hostility in regards gas/boiler videos on a forum like this. The fact remains, up and coming plumbers that are in college or on courses are crying out for videos like this, which completely demystifys the whole thing, makes it clearer and easier to understand and shows it is not has hard as the textbooks make out it is at NVQ lv3.

It is not about promoting illegal working on appliances in the home, but the distribution of knowledge for any that want it, we have already seen legal specialists in regards the publishing of such information and Youtube have no problem with hosting it.

I never cried out for videos like these, I don't think any of us did, I had the hunger.
If people need things such as gas works to be made easier for themselves then maybe it isn't for them.
The game is what it is, it takes a certain kind of person and I worked my heart out for years to become the engineer I am today. The videos are irresponsible.

the only person who will want to or need to watch a video on youtube will be somebody not competent to do such work tbh.

if you want to learn then go to college doing a structured course and learn alongside a decent engineer and become competent. You can make a little money from youtube adverts but i cant see the point, if you want to make good profit off youtube review new tech items like the latest phones etc....

now wheres that video of how to make a blow up doll...... i mean chicken curry

You will be completely liable. Don't talk tosh!

And yes you would be! Do you honestly think that putting a caveat on the videos will prevent non gsr's watching and attempting the repair of their gas appliances?

Your naivety is astounding!

Says you, someone who is arguing with a legal document we have already got, pertaining to the fact that it will not, issued by a top 40, in the whole wide world, law firm.

You just said you were a student, I have 15 years on you.

What that gotta do with anything? I gave you a POV from a student, someone you were aiming these tech videos at. I'm sure there are plenty of people on here with more experience than you, every bodies opinion counts, even if you don't like it

Not worth the paper it's printed on.

This has dragged on long enough now. You will not be posting nor advertising these videos on these forums. And that's an end of the matter.
