PM5 has been replaced

PM5 has been replaced by New HSE Guidance for Steam and Hot Water Boiler Plant.

The UK Representative on the European Shell Boiler Standards Committee, David Young, Cochran General Manager is Chairing the CEA Conference.  Representing Cochran: are Christopher Callaghan our Product Support Manager, Tom Owens, Boiler Sales Manager and Bill Higgins our Training Manager.

This conference introduces the most significant development in the steam industry for over a decade and it is therefore essential for operators, managers and owners of steam boiler plant to ensure that each is aware of the risks and their respective responsibilities for the safe operation and management of steam and hot water boiler plant.

For the last three years, a small working party from HSE, CEA and SAFed has been actively involved in the production of two new documents that will replace PM5.

1. HSE INDG 436 “Safe Management of Industrial Steam and Hot Water Boilers”

2. HSE/SAFed/CEA jointly produced, industry lead document BG01 “Guidance on Safe Operation of Boilers”

INDG 436 requires a manager to check if the installation is safe and properly managed and that there is a current Risk Assessment in place. BG01 provides details of the problems, which should be addressed, gives cross references to external legislation, standards and guidance, and suggests practical solutions in terms of equipment appropriate for a chosen level of supervision.

PM5 and PSG2 have been withdrawn. This conference will introduce the new documents and explain the background to their development and application. Owners and managers will be reminded of their duties and responsibilities and guidance will be given on compliance and the safe operation and management of steam Boilerhouses.

The Conference is Wednesday 24th April at The Huntingtower Hotel, Crieff Rd, Perth.
Registration commences at 9:30, event starts at 10:00, event concludes at 15.40 – lunch provided.
