That the Parliament recognises Gas Safety Week 2025, which is taking place from 8 to 14 September; commends the Gas Safe Register, along with registered engineers, partner organisations and campaigners for their continued efforts to raise awareness of gas safety across Scotland and the UK; notes that this year’s theme, “Protecting your business, people and community”, highlights that gas safety is not only a technical or regulatory responsibility, but also a shared commitment that involves business leaders, employees, engineers and customers, all of whom are playing their part in keeping people and properties safe; acknowledges that previous surveys have shown that nearly one in five homes in Scotland contain unsafe gas appliances, underscoring the urgent need for awareness and regular checks; notes that gas incidents, including carbon monoxide poisoning, gas leaks, fires and explosions, remain serious risks when gas work is carried out by unqualified individuals; recognises the importance of engaging with landlords, tenants, businesses and vulnerable groups, and ensuring compliance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, and encourages ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ to support Gas Safety Week in their constituencies and regions, by promoting safe practices, access to qualified engineers, and helping to ensure that homes and workplaces across Scotland remain safe and protected.
