Course Duration - 2 Days

The LPG Site Auditor Training course is a focused one-day programme designed for safety officers, LPG industry personnel and employees responsible for carrying out on-site LPG audits.

The course develops a structured approach to inspecting LPG installations, identifying safety and compliance concerns, documenting findings and knowing when specialist intervention is required.

It is suitable for a wide range of environments, from guesthouses and small commercial premises to larger business facilities and institutional sites such as schools, hospitals and similar organisations.

This programme is suitable for:

• health and safety officers

• LPG industry personnel

• site auditors and inspectors

• facilities and maintenance personnel

• employees tasked with conducting internal LPG inspections

• property and operations managers

• compliance personnel

• staff responsible for monitoring LPG installations across multiple sites

• organisations that need a consistent approach to LPG site auditing

No gas fitting work is carried out as part of this programme.

The programme provides practical guidance on:

• how to approach an LPG site audit systematically

• identifying the main components of an LPG installation

• recognising visible safety and compliance concerns

• assessing cylinder storage and placement

• reviewing access, ventilation and surrounding conditions

• checking pipework, supports, protection and identification

• identifying concerns relating to regulators, valves and isolation points

• reviewing appliance locations and surrounding conditions

• recognising flueing and combustion-air concerns

• checking signage, labelling and general site presentation

• identifying deterioration, damage or poor maintenance

• recognising conditions that require urgent escalation

• understanding the difference between an audit finding and gas fitting work

• recording observations clearly and consistently

• preparing practical audit reports and follow-up actions

• determining when a qualified gas practitioner or other specialist should be contacted

The emphasis is on developing a repeatable audit process that can be applied across different types and sizes of premises.

This is a one-day training programme delivered online or in person on site.

Training includes:

• instructor-led presentations

• practical audit methodology

• photographs and examples of installation conditions

• hazard and non-compliance identification

• audit checklists and inspection frameworks

• discussion of common LPG site issues

• reporting and documentation principles

• escalation and follow-up procedures

• case studies covering small, commercial and institutional sites

• examples from environments such as guesthouses, businesses, schools and hospitals

Where appropriate, the course can also be tailored around the types of sites commonly encountered by the client.

There is no mandatory assessment as part of the standard course.

Participants who complete the programme receive a Gas Uni Certificate of Attendance.

Where a business or institutional client requires participants to be assessed, an assessment or knowledge check can be arranged by prior agreement.

This can be useful for organisations that need to verify that nominated personnel understand the audit process, key LPG safety concerns and the reporting procedures covered during the course.

The course is well suited to organisations responsible for managing LPG safety across one or multiple properties.

Gas Uni can adapt the programme around:

• the types of premises being audited

• internal safety and inspection procedures

• recurring site concerns

• organisational reporting requirements

• audit frequency and responsibilities

• the experience level of the participants

• commercial, hospitality, institutional or multi-site operating environments

The programme can therefore be used both for individual development and for establishing a more consistent internal LPG auditing process across an organisation.
