  • Here's a conundrum for you as I can't find an answer elsewhere. As an occasional part of my current job I am required to disconnect move and reconnect barbecues to their 11kg propane bottles. These are secured with 30mm brass nut connections and are used at PTA and school barbecues. I have had no training and have no qualification to do such a thing in what I consider is a commercial setting. I am being paid to do it and the chefs are proper chefs. If it was mains gas I'd need to be gas safe to be fiddling around like this but I know that if it was attached to a caravan I was using it would be fine. What does the team think or know on this subject?

    NB. I'd happily have nothing to do with it as I know where the buck stops if some barbecue ends in a ball of flames.

  • I think it shouldn't be up to me and I've read this:

    so I reckon I'm possibly on the right track. I've also emailed Gas Safe to get their slant on it.
    It's mostly because I hate moving stinking barbecues and gas bottles but also there is a bit of "think about the children" too.
    And we only get these to tighten the nut fitting!
