Working in the gas industry means that engineers must ensure that safety is at the forefront of everything they do, thus the requirement for a Gas Safe ID Card. As well as being a vetted professional, a gas engineer also has to ensure that they are issuing the correct paperwork when it comes to repairs and inspections.
The more conventional method of doing this is to issue handwritten carbon-based gas safety certificates, which give an overview of the repair or inspection, with the relevant copies being given to each party. This could be a landlord, tenant or business owner.
While the process is relatively straightforward, more busier days could mean the task is eating into valuable time, but it’s not something we can rush. So what choice does a gas engineer have when it comes to simplifying the process of issuing gas certificates?
Paperless Gas Safety Certificates
With so much of our daily lives occurring online, it should come as no surprise that there is an app that can streamlines the process of issuing gas safety certificates while still being able to promote a professional business.
Easy Gas Cert is one of the industry leaders in electronic gas certs, and uses an app to make the completing of paperwork less cumbersome. Engineers simply log into the app, fill out the details, and with few simple swipes, you can send a completed electronic gas cert in PDF format to your customer’s email address.
More Effective
Another problem with carbon-based records is that they must be stored. In the short-term this may not be too much of a hindrance, but depending on what other filing you have to contend with, you could find that filing of hundreds of gas certificates to be a time-consuming endeavour.
Fortunately, the gas certificate software is able to offer a portal where each engineer has their own profile. As well as being to send electronic gas certs to customer, engineers are also able to store copies within their profile, and simply send a copy should the customer request one. It also ensures that the working environment has less clutter.
Cost-Effective
When dealing with physical gas certs, you normally have to invest in stationery that allows you to carry out the role. This can be an ongoing cost as you never truly know how many you will need, so there is a danger of not having enough, or too many.
Easy Gas Cert sidesteps this dilemma by offering a pricing model that can be adapted to your current budget. So, whether you’re looking for a pay-as-you-go solution, or looking to use a lot of electronic gas certs, Easy Gas Cert will have a pricing structure that suits you and your business.
If you currently work within the industry, and find that the current method of issuing gas certificates is both costly and time-consuming, then why not head over to Easy Gas Cert to see what a changeover to paperless gas certs could do for your business.
