UPDATE 7 DECEMBER 2021
We are in the process of updating the OF&G telephone system to provide you with easier access to members of staff.
This means that for the next few days if you are calling your Certification Officer using their direct dial number your call may be routed to the OF&G general enquiries line.
To contact your Certification Officer you can still dial the main office number and enter their extension number.

OF&G inspections during the pandemic
In spite of the continued coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions announced by the Prime Minister, OF&G inspectors are continuing to undertake physical inspections but only strictly on the proviso that a proper risk assessment is undertaken prior to the visit and that the necessary PPE and social distancing is observed to ensure everyone is protected.
If however you do not want a physical inspection for whatever reason then you can elect to undertake a self-assessment which will then be followed up with a physical inspection once restrictions are lifted.
Please inform either your Certification Officer or your inspector about which approach you would like to request.
