Emergency planning

Qualified personnel must determine safe shutdown, temporary heat and restart procedures.

Important: Costs, utility rates, permits, inspections, environmental duties, health requirements, safety rules and equipment standards vary by country, province or state, municipality, building use, equipment type and project scope. Qualified local professionals and the authority having jurisdiction must determine what applies. Boilers involve combustion, fuel, electricity, hot water or steam, pressure equipment, venting and potentially lethal hazards. Only qualified and authorized professionals may design, install, inspect, service or operate regulated equipment.
