Recently, our Chairman – Derry Carr – had an article published in Plant & Works Engineering Magazine:
If you are reading this, then the likelihood is you’re an engineer with responsibility of the boiler plant in your organisation. Now that could be a factory, a hospital, a chemical plant, a prison or in fact anywhere with a boiler.
So, is the boiler plant your responsibility? Yes; you say, it is my responsibility.
The fact is, the over-riding responsibility for the safe operation of the boilers within your organisation sits with the head of your organisation. It may be the MD or the CEO or some other such title but for this exercise we will call him/her the MD. The chances are, they’re not from an engineering background and possibly don’t even know where the boilerhouse is, but they cannot get away from it, in law, they are responsible.
So what are their responsibilities?
