PSSR Inspections Telford

PSSR, or the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, is a set of regulations in the United Kingdom designed to ensure the safe operation of pressure systems. These regulations are crucial for preventing accidents and protecting both people and the environment. GSB Inspections is here to help you navigate and comply with these regulations effectively.

PSSR inspections are essential to verify that pressure systems are safe, well-maintained and compliant with regulatory requirements. These inspections help identify potential hazards, ensure equipment integrity, and prevent accidents and injuries.

The responsibility for complying with PSSR regulations falls on employers (also known as the ‘duty holder’) including the owner of a mobile system, that is, one that can be easily moved, such as an air compressor taken from site to site. The user of an installed system, that is, one that is not a mobile system, such as a steam boiler.

The user of hired or leased equipment should make sure that the WSE is in place and that the certificate of examination is also current.

PSSR Schedule 2 allows a supplier of an installed system to assume responsibility in writing for the WSE, the operation, the maintenance and the record keeping.

The frequency of PSSR inspections depends on various factors, including the type of pressure system, its usage and the associated risks. Typically, PSSR inspections can range from 12 months to many years, depending on the type of equipment but it’s essential to consult with our experts to determine the specific inspection intervals for your systems.
