Boiler inspections

The Boiler Inspection Program provides initial and periodic inspections of boilers of all sizes, types and pressures. Originated in 1953, The Boiler Inspection Program is responsible for the inspection and safe repair of boilers installed in public and commercial locations. Technical advice and engineering assistance is provided to installers, repair firms, operators and owner/users.

Nominal fees are collected to fund the inspection activity. Coordination of inspections with insurance companies allow qualified insurance company "special inspectors" to participate in making required inspections and prevent duplication of services.

As of January 22, 2013, there are 9,812 active boilers subject to regular inspection in the state, including 6,837 hot water heating boilers, 1,592 hot water supply boilers, 996 steam heating boilers, 334 power and process boilers, and 53 historical (hobby) boilers. Also included in the total are 309 boilers located on oil drilling rigs.
