Ohio Admin. Code 1301:3-5-04 - Notification of unsafe working condition; requirements for cover removal; notification of accident
(A) If, in the course of any inspection, an
inspector finds that the boiler or pressure vessel is not in safe working
condition, is not provided with the fittings necessary for safety, or that the
fittings are improperly arranged, the inspector shall immediately notify the
superintendent, the owner or user, and the person in charge of the boiler or
pressure vessel of the inspector's finding. The
superintendent may deny, revoke, or refuse to
renew the certificate of operation of any boiler or pressure vessel that is
found to not be in safe working condition, and
the owner or user shall not operate the boiler or pressure vessel, or permit it to be operated until a certificate
of operation has been issued or renewed
granted or restored.
(B) If an inspector determines upon an
external or internal inspection that a boiler or pressure vessel has a leak or
crack, the inspector may require that a sufficient amount of the covering of
the boiler or pressure vessel be removed in order to inspect the boiler or
pressure vessel to determine its safety. When an inspector requires that the
covering of a boiler or pressure vessel be removed after having determined that
a boiler or pressure vessel has a leak or crack,
the boiler or pressure vessel shall not be operated until the boiler or
pressure vessel has successfully
completed
passed an inspection by an
inspector holding a certificate of competency held
in accordance with Chapter 4104. of the Revised Code.
(C) In the event that an accident occurs
affecting the safety of a boiler or pressure vessel and which
that serves
to render the boiler or pressure vessel inoperable, the owner or user shall
immediately notify the superintendent and submit a detailed report of the
accident. In the case of a serious accident, such as an explosion or other
accident causing personal injury, the owner or user shall immediately notify
the division's boiler section chief by telephone, electronic mail, or other
means of immediate communication, with receipt confirmed, and except as
necessary to protect human life or to facilitate emergency response, the boiler
or pressure vessel and any of its parts shall not be removed or disturbed
before an examination has been made by an inspector of the division of
industrial compliance.
