HF 461: Relating to boiler inspections

What it does

This bill relates to boiler inspections. The bill modifies one of the criteria necessary for a boiler or pressure vessel to be inspected at least once each year externally while under pressure and at least once every four years internally while not under pressure, unless the labor commissioner determines an earlier inspection is warranted. Under current law, one of the criteria for an unfired steam pressure vessel to be eligible for such an inspection schedule is that the vessel is part of or integral to the continuous operation of a process covered by and compliant with a specified occupational safety and health administration process safety management standard, and the owner demonstrates such compliance to a special inspector or the commissioner.
