A Bedford man has been fined for safety failings after installing an LPG fuelled boiler at a domestic property when he was not gas safe registered or qualified to carry out the work

Luton Magistrates’ Court heard how, in June 2013, Kalimat Ramalingum claimed to be gas safe registered to homeowners and provided them with a landlord/homeowners Gas Safety Record which featured details of another gas safe registered engineer. He carried out work that was sub-standard and after he installed the boiler it was deemed “At Risk”.

Kalimat Ramilingum (also known as David Kalimat, David Badi and David Ramalingum) was prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive and pleaded guilty to Regulation 3(3) of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. He was ordered to wear a tag and put on curfew for four months between 6.00pm and 8.00am, pay £450 compensation to the homeowners and contribute £500 towards HSE costs.
