Gas Appliances and Piping: Care and Use of Ladders Mobile App

The specifications in the Gas Appliances and Piping: Care and Use of Ladders mobile app are a supplement to the International Fuel Gas Code and in some cases these specifications differ from the provisions of the foregoing standard. These differences are necessitated by experience based on local conditions and are intended to further ensure that the customer will be provided with safe and efficient operation of their gas appliances. The inspection of gas installations is a cooperative effort by the local code enforcement official and the natural gas supplier. The app covers Care and Use of Ladders and Safety. All GoCanvas apps allow submissions to be converted to a CSV file that can be emailed.
