Gas Safety Inspector Our client Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) is Ireland's independent energy and water regulator. The work of the CRU impacts every Irish home and business ensuring safe, secure and sustainable energy and water supplies for the benefit of all customers.Energy Safety Regulation The CRU is an evolving and expanding organisation with a current staff complement of 146 which is due to increase to 196 over the next one year. Much of this growth arises as CRU adapts to meet the challenges of the transformation of the energy and water sectors to align with a net-zero carbon and a digital future.In relation to our safety role, this manifests itself, for example, with the introduction of traditional, lower carbon fuels into new sectors (e.g. compressed natural gas in transport). In addition, there are broad ambitions for the development of offshore renewables at scale and the Government is preparing a national Hydrogen Strategy. Consideration will need to be given to how Ireland addresses the safety risks associated with these new and emerging sectors, and CRU's role in that. The CRU is constantly evolving its safety regulatory framework. Most recently the operation and development of the safety supervisory schemes for gas and electricity have transferred to a new safety supervisory body. Three teams make up the Energy Safety Division: • Safety Supervisory Body (SSB) team: The Safe Electric scheme for electrical contractors and RGI scheme for gas installers are operated by a third-party SSB on behalf of the CRU.

The team revises Criteria Documents which set out detailed scheme rules and requirements and engages with a wide variety of stakeholders. Technical inspectors on the team investigate suspected illegal gas and electrical works and gas incidents and the CRU takes enforcement action including prosecutions.• Gas safety framework: The team oversees safety regulation of natural gas (transmission network, distribution network, supply and shipping) and LPG distribution network undertakings. This is done through the development of energy safety policy and input into legislative amendments, safety case assessments, audits and inspections, investigation of gas incidents, enforcement, safety performance reporting and review. The Team also chairs a Promotion and Public Awareness Group.• Petroleum safety team: Regulates upstream (offshore and onshore) petroleum exploration and extraction activities in Ireland. The CRU's responsibility is to provide effective safety regulatory oversight and reduce the risk and potential consequences of major accidents onshore and offshore to a level that is as low as is reasonably practicable (ALARP).
