How To Fill Out A Landlord Gas Safety Check CP12 GGIUR 26.9

Completing landlords / homeowners gas safety certificates is a part of everyday life when working in the gas industry. Landlords require one to be completed annually while homeowners may require one to be completed when selling a property etc.
Despite there being clear instructions on how to complete these documents in the form of TB55, the GSIUR and various other industry documents, there is definitely huge disparity when it comes to the standard to which different engineers complete them.
This video is a tongue-in-cheek attempt to offer some form of standardisation for any engineer who wishes to understand the correct way of completing the forms.
