He was sentenced to a 3 year custodial sentence and was disqualified from being the director of a company for 12 years.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the hearing, the HSE inspector\u00a0 said: \u201cAnyone employed to work on gas appliances in domestic premises must be a Gas Safe registered engineer and competent in that area of gas work. The gas engineer\u2019s competencies are clearly marked on the back of the engineer\u2019s Gas Safe Register ID card.
