Another Southern Contracts’ member of staff, has successfully completed a Quality Assurance examination.

These LCL tests are required for anyone wishing to work on gas installations and appliances. In addition, the operative must also hold the relevant appliance element specifically relating to the work they wish to undertake.

• TPCP1A, Safety assessment of non-domestic natural gas testing and purging. This module covers gas safety competencies of an operative in the work of strength testing, tightness testing and direct purging of small, low pressure natural gas, non-domestic gas installations.
• ICPN1 which relates to the installation of first fix on commercial pipework. This course is for experienced operatives wishing to undertake installation first fix of pipework in excess of 35mm.

Harvey also happens to be a grandson to the original founder of Southern Contracts, Norman Elphinstone Snr.
