Boiler and Pressure Vessel Safety
This inspection and certification program plays a critical role in promoting
safety for all Virginians. Industrial boilers and pressure vessels are
used in many large and small establishments, including hospitals, small
offices, and large factories. We oversee regular inspections of boilers
and pressure vessels in workplaces, apartments, and all other establishments
open to the public under the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Safety Act. Our
oversight of installation, operation, and repair of these vessels, and
certification of both the vessels and the inspectors, assures the safe
operation of these powerful systems.
