Purpose and Procedure for Drafting the Document

What Is a Gas Emergency Isolation Record?

A gas emergency isolation record is a document used to record the actions taken to isolate the gas supply during an emergency. It captures the isolation method, valve closure, meter reading, and notification of the gas network operator.

Who Uses This Template?

This template is used by Gas Safe registered engineers and gas network operators who need to document emergency isolation procedures. It provides a clear record of what was done and when.

Key Features

The template includes sections for isolation details, actions taken (valve closure, notice posting, meter reading), participants, and photo evidence. It focuses on the isolation process rather than defects or observations.

Emergency Gas Shutdown

When a gas leak or other emergency requires immediate isolation of the gas supply, this record documents the closure of valves and other isolation actions.

Planned Maintenance Isolation

Although designed for emergencies, this template can also be used to document planned isolation for maintenance or repair work on gas systems.

Network Operator Notification

The record includes a field to confirm that the gas network operator was notified, which is often a regulatory requirement after an emergency isolation.

Post-Event Documentation

After the emergency is resolved, this record serves as a permanent log of the isolation actions, which may be required for compliance or insurance purposes.

  1. 1

    Identify Isolation Point

    Identify the appropriate isolation point, such as a valve or meter, to shut off the gas supply safely.

  2. 2

    Close Valve and Post Notice

    Close the isolation valve, record the gas meter reading, and post an emergency notice at the isolation point.

  3. 3

    Notify Network Operator

    Notify the gas network operator of the isolation, providing details of the location and reason.

  4. 4

    Complete Record

    Complete the Gas Emergency Isolation Record with all details, participant signatures, and photo evidence of the isolation.

Photo Report Generator

Create a professional isolation record with photos of the valve and meter reading using the photo report generator.

Frequently Asked Questions about Photo Reports and Photo Tables

What is the purpose of a Gas Emergency Isolation Record?

The purpose is to document the actions taken to isolate the gas supply during an emergency, providing a clear record of what was done, when, and by whom. This is important for safety, compliance, and future reference.

Who typically completes this record?

A Gas Safe registered engineer typically completes the record after performing the isolation. The gas network operator may also be listed as a participant if notified.

What information is recorded in this template?

The template records the isolation date and time, location, reason for isolation, method used (valve closure, cap off), whether the valve was closed, emergency notice posted, gas meter reading, and network notification. It also includes participant details and photos.

Is photo evidence required?

Photo evidence is recommended to visually confirm the isolation. The template includes a photo section for capturing the isolation valve in the closed position, the emergency notice, and the gas meter reading.

How does this differ from a Gas Leak Report?

A Gas Emergency Isolation Record focuses solely on the isolation actions, without recording defects or observations. A Gas Leak Report covers the entire leak investigation, including findings, repairs, and retest results.
