BOC’s ONSTREAM service helps businesses who operate industrial gas pressure systems to ensure they are managed and maintained to comply with the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR 2000).
Leveraging over 120 years of expertise working with pressure systems, ONSTREAM can help:
BOC can only carry out an examination with a WSE that BOC has produced so that we can be confident it is valid and up-to-date. If you already have a WSE, don't worry, BOC can provide a WSE as an output of an Initial Pressure System Inspection.
As part of owning and using a pressure system, you have a duty to maintain, inspect and examine the system to ensure safety. If you need a Written Scheme of Examination (WSE), you have a legal duty to ensure that it is drawn up by a competent person, reviewed at appropriate intervals by a competent person and that the items included in the scheme are examined by a competent person at specified intervals.
The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act and specifically the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) and the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR 2000) all have a requirement to prevent harm to people and carry out appropriate maintenance on equipment. The British Compressed Gas Association (BCGA) states in its Code of Practice 39, that it is necessary that there is an appropriate on-going examination, maintenance and inspection regime to ensure the equipment remains safe throughout its in-service life.
BOC replace parts to ensure continuing safety, reliability and efficiency. In many cases, it is more cost-effective to replace a part than to test it.
