Even in states like Mass, that require testing gas leaks happen. a piece of paper will not protect you from mistakes.

As a teenager I worked as a gas fitter's helper and a plumber's helper in Mass. We needed a licensed plumber and licensed gas fitter on the job and doing the work. After the job was finished and we conducted our own pressure test, the town then sent their inspector out to examine not only the job, but also the test we conducted! Our testing equipment could not be removed until the inspector signed off.
Yes, leaks happen, but when personnel are qualified, licensed, and the town inspector follows up, problems are less likely. IMHO
