Health & Safety Risk Management System

S23 - Pressure Systems

If pressure equipment fails in use, it can seriously injure or kill people nearby and cause serious damage to property. Each year in Great Britain, there are about 150 dangerous occurrences involving such unintentional releases. Around six of these result in fatal or serious injury.

This is a written procedure which explains the duties of the responsible manager in relation to the maintenance and operation of pressure systems in the workplace. Included with the procedure is a template for a register of pressure systems.
