If
your business uses an Air Receiver to store compressed air, and it is more than
12 months old, you have a legal responsibility to ensure that Receiver complies
with the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR). Receivers with capacities
as low as 50 litres are covered by PSSR, due to the pressure at which the air
is stored. This means that they are subject to compulsory, regular air receiver
inspections.
Why PSSR is important
When stored in a tank, compressed air is kept at a
high pressure and so any faults with that tank pose a significant safety risk
to the end users of the air system, as well as to others working near the
compressor. These risks can be mitigated by having the Air Receiver inspected
and certified by a Competent Examiner.
Trust the experts in compressed
air
Compressed Air Systems UK has a team of PSSR Competent Examiners who have been trained to inspect and certify compressed air systems. This can be carried out at the same time as preventative maintenance on other equipment, such as compressors, or scheduled as a standalone visit.
