				prohibited until specified repairs or other action are taken. The chief
				inspector shall be notified immediately, followed by a report on the condition.
				Any certificate in force is considered suspended. When reinspection establishes
				that necessary repairs have been made or corrective action taken so that the
				boiler or unfired pressure vessel is safe to operate, a report of reinspection
				shall be submitted to the chief inspector. The certificate of inspection will

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The owner or user has the responsibility to prepare a

				safety and health regulations (federal, state, local, or other), as well as the
				owner or user's own safety program and the safety program of the inspector's
				employer are applicable. In the absence of such rules, prudent and generally
				accepted engineering safety procedures satisfactory to the inspector shall be
				employed by the owner or user.
The owner or user shall prepare a boiler for internal
				inspection in the following manner or as required by the inspector:
(1) Water shall be drawn off and the boiler
			 thoroughly washed (when a boiler is being prepared for internal inspection, the
			 water should not be withdrawn until it has been sufficiently cooled).
(2) All manhole and handhole plates and
			 wash-out plugs and water column connections shall be removed, the furnace and
			 combustion chambers thoroughly cooled and cleaned.
(3) All grates of internally fired boilers
			 shall be removed.
(4) At each
			 annual inspection brickwork shall be removed as required by the inspector in
			 order to determine the condition of the boiler headers, drums, furnace,
			 supports, or other parts.
(5) The
			 steam gauge shall be removed for testing or evidence of testing
			 shown.
(6) Any leakage of steam or
			 water into the boiler shall be prevented by either disconnecting the pipe or
			 block valve at the most convenient point or installing isolation blinds. The
			 owner or user must ensure that an effective energy isolation program (lock out
			 and/or tag out) is in place and in effect that will prevent the unexpected
			 energizing, start up, or release of stored energy.
The inspector shall determine that a safe atmosphere exists
				before entering the boiler or pressure-retaining item.
(7) The low water cutout shall be
			 disassembled to such a degree as the inspector shall require.
(8) Pressure relief devices shall be removed
			 and tested if required by the inspector.
Unfired pressure vessels shall be prepared for internal
				inspection to the extent deemed necessary by the inspector.
