Boat Safety Scheme
Just like a car, on most of the UK's inland waterways, a boat needs to be licensed, insured and have the boat-equivalent of a MOT - valid BSS certification - before it can cruise, or in some circumstances moor.
Gas Safe
For peace of mind, only use a Gas Safe Registered Engineer on Gas appliances.

Safety Tips & Advice
Carbon Monoxide
The BSS Essential Guide to Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm Requirements (COAR) include the important details and background information on the mandatory requirement for CO alarms
Solid Fuel Stoves
Solid fuel stoves provide a dry and economical form of heat making thousands of boats on UK inland waterways very cosy.
Fire Safety
Whilst fire is unlikely on a boat that is well maintained to minimum safety standards, it is a grave concern to boaters who can be caught unawares or in a situation where escape is difficult.
