Using a pressure vessel that does NOT carry the ASME Stamp in the state of CA?
Sometimes I come across some items as I do work for clients that are priceless in helping us make our case for safety and this one is a "feather in our [hard] hat". Apparently some employers in the state of California decided that using pressure vessels built to some code other than ASME Section VIII was a means to "save money" or for some other crazy reason. The state of CA took issue with this practice and issued a memo way back in 2006 explaining how these businesses could get an official exemption from CAL-OSHA to use a "non-coded" pressure vessel. Their request for information to determine if such a vessel could be used safely speaks volumes to "pressure vessel safety" and provides us some excellent insight into what goes into a pressure vessel safety management program... |
