Pressure Systems Tests
Ensuring the safety of both individuals and property, it is crucial to recognize the potential risks associated with pressure equipment failures. As an employer or self-employed individual, you bear the responsibility of providing a secure workplace and safe work equipment. However, this duty extends to designers, manufacturers, suppliers, installers, users, and owners as well. The primary objective is to prevent serious injuries resulting from the release of stored energy (pressure) due to the failure of a pressure system or any of its component parts. By adhering to these guidelines, we can effectively mitigate the hazards and protect everyone involved.
Pressure Systems Tests
The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR) cover the safe design and use of pressure systems.
The regulations impose a responsibility on pressure system designers to meticulously create systems that are safe, constructed with suitable materials, and devoid of hazards. They must ensure that any necessary testing and examination can be conducted without jeopardizing health and safety. This involves incorporating measures for safe access into vessels, if needed, and providing essential protective devices to prevent potential dangers to the best extent possible. By adhering to these guidelines, designers can uphold the highest safety standards and minimize risks associated with pressure systems.
