Landlady fined after failing to produce gas safety certificate

A landlady from Staffordshire has been fined for failing to provide a gas safety certificate for one of her tenanted properties.
Lichfield District Council asked Liane Dewsbury to produce Landlord's gas safety certificates for boilers at two properties she owned in Queen Street, Burntwood. When they were not provided the council referred the matter to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Yesterday (12 September) South Walls Magistrates' Court was told that despite a number of requests the certificates were not produced. On 4 October 2011 HSE served two Improvement Notices requiring Mrs Dewsbury to arrange for a competent gas fitter to carry out an inspection of the gas appliances in the two premises and produce a certificate for both. She was given until 11 November 2011 to comply.

She complied with one of the Notices, the Court was told, but despite several more requests by the HSE, she failed to provide a certificate for the second property until 15 February 2012.

Ms Dewsbury pleaded guilty to breaching Section 33(1)(g) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. She was fined £1,500 and ordered to pay costs of £3,209.
