Examination of Steam Boilers Under Normal Pressure

Operators who do not adhere to this standard are liable to a fine.

Operators must keep the official report, logging each examination, on the same premises as the equipment in question and it must be made available to DOHS personnel for inspection at any time. Failure to comply with statutory requirements may lead to legal proceedings against the offender.
