Why it matters for pressure systems
PSSR places duties on pressure systems for use at work and covers the risk to health and safety. The aim is to prevent serious injury from stored energy if a pressure system or a part fails.
What tends to affect the scope of work
- The type and size of pressure vessels in the system.
- The type and extent of protective devices and pipework.
- Whether a written scheme of examination is already in place.
- The access and preparation needed for the examination.
- Whether repairs or modifications need review by a competent person.
