Decision Support
AR or ID? A clear path through unsafe situations.
GasTrack helps engineers understand unsafe-situation classifications and navigate the regulatory context around them. Current industry procedures remain part of professional practice; GasTrack provides supporting context from public legislation, HSE guidance and manufacturer information.
Assess against the applicable criteria.
Work through the applicable unsafe-situation criteria with the specific installation in front of you. GasTrack can surface public regulatory context and manufacturer information, but classification must still be made against current applicable industry procedures and requirements by the competent engineer.
Start
Fault or concern identified on site
Assess the situation against the applicable criteria. Where a higher-risk classification is met, that classification takes precedence.
Decision
Immediate danger to life or property?
Gas escape, CO release, major flue failure, fire risk
Immediately Dangerous
- Disconnect the appliance
- Make the installation safe
- Do not leave in use
Decision
Risk present that could become dangerous?
Incomplete combustion, minor flue defect, degraded seal
At Risk
- Follow the current applicable procedure
- Apply the prescribed safeguarding actions
- Record and communicate the classification
Decision
No AR or ID classification identified?
The condition may still require advice, recording or remedial attention
Other recorded finding
- Follow current applicable requirements
- Advise the responsible person where appropriate
- Record the finding and evidence
No AR/ID classification identified
- No unsafe classification from the assessed criteria
- Record the outcome and findings
Professional disclaimer
GasTrack is a decision-support tool. Classification must be based on the specific circumstances, current industry procedures, applicable regulations, manufacturer instructions and the competent engineer's professional judgement.
What each classification means.
Immediately Dangerous
A fault that poses an immediate threat to life or property. The appliance is disconnected, made safe and must not be used.
At Risk
A situation classified At Risk under the current applicable procedure requires the prescribed safeguarding actions. GasTrack does not summarise those actions as permission to continue use; engineers must follow the current controlled procedure for the specific situation.
No AR/ID classification
A condition may still need advice, recording or remedial attention without being an AR or ID unsafe classification. Follow current applicable requirements and procedures for the specific situation.
No AR/ID classification identified
No unsafe classification identified from the assessed criteria. Record the outcome and findings — this is not a certification of the installation.
