Where should the boiler certificate of inspection be placed?

The boiler certificate of inspection should be conspicuously placed adjacent to the boiler. This placement is vital for ensuring that the certificate is easily visible to operators and inspectors at all times. It provides immediate proof that the boiler has undergone the necessary safety inspections and meets the required regulatory standards. Having the certificate positioned near the boiler allows for quick verification, thereby promoting safety and compliance with local and national codes. This practice helps maintain operational transparency and assures personnel that the boiler is safe for use.

Storing the certificate in an office or keeping it in a maintenance log would hinder access and could lead to delays in inspections or emergencies. Posting it on the control panel might not fulfill the intent of conspicuous placement, as control panels can sometimes be busy or cluttered with other important information.
