Boiler & pressure vessel
Managing boilers and pressure vessels requires a proactive approach to ensure your facility remains both productive and hazard-free. By prioritizing consistent oversight, you can effectively mitigate the risks of equipment failure and protect your team from high-pressure incidents.
About 89% of related real accidents concentrate in these types.
Key prevention
- Establish a rigorous schedule for routine visual inspections to identify signs of corrosion, leaks, or structural fatigue early.
- Ensure all pressure relief valves are tested regularly to confirm they function correctly and prevent dangerous over-pressurization.
- Maintain comprehensive and up-to-date service logs to track repair history and upcoming maintenance requirements for every unit.
- Provide specialized training for all personnel who operate or work near pressurized equipment to ensure they recognize potential warning signs.
- Verify that all safety controls and emergency shutdown systems are unobstructed and fully operational at all times.
