Light Switch Causes Gas Explosion. Landlords Take Note.

Warning graphic images.


'If after completion of the alterations to the gas installations at the premises any reasonable form of soundness or safety check had been performed upon the fittings in place it would have revealed the existence of the inadequately sealed pipe and the hazard it caused.'

    I wonder how easy it will be to trace whoever did the gas works - after all a leak test by pressure drop is pretty much standard, and not doing after a major refit of pipework  it would appear to be be negligent.

    I assume the property management company that organised the works would normally be the first port of call, if they were not already bankrupt.

    it does not help the poor chap who was burnt of course, but I suspect that no-one will appear to be fully liable.
