BCGA publications are produced by and for the gases industry, but many are also used by their customers. As BCGA also involve and keep informed government bodies, Competent Authorities and Regulators, such as the Department for Transport and the national Environment Agencies, during the development of these publications they are generally accepted as being an appropriate and safe way of working. As such, they give positive examples of best practice and are recognised for this by the enforcement agencies, such as the Health and Safety Executive. It should be noted that in the event of any legal action, either criminal or civil, the courts are likely to use BCGA documents as a measure of what may be reasonably practicable.

All publications are reviewed and updated on a regular basis.

BCGA members have access to additional publications which are available in the members area

Exceptionally, if a printed (hard copy) of a document is required, a charge is made. For printed documents contact the BCGA office.

Please note: Printed copies of a publication can take a minimum of 5 working days to be delivered.
