What is a Medical Gas Survey?

Accurate medical gas record drawings aren’t a choice; they’re a fundamental requirement.

Section 5 of current HTM 02-01 for Medical Gas Pipeline Systems – Record Drawings, clearly outlines the obligation to maintain up-to-date and accurate drawings, ensuring they are available to all relevant stakeholders on demand.

Despite this clear guidance, many continue to operate with outdated drawings, whilst some have no drawings at all. This poses significant risks to compliance & safety.
