 After the hearing, a Health & Safety Executive inspector, said: "When unqualified workers try to bypass the law they are not only putting themselves at risk of prosecution, they are also putting their customers' lives at risk.

"To make matters even worse, Mr.Jowett was told to stop working on gas appliances and took no notice."
mr. Paul Johnston, who is the Chief Executive of the Safe Gas Register, said: "If you're employing an engineer, you should always make sure that person is Gas Safe registered.
"Don't just take their word for it, check they are on the register and check their ID when they arrive."
