Quite simply, it’s the law.

Business owners are

responsible for the

periodic inspection of

certain boilers and other

pressure vessels in

order to ensure safety.

Failure to do so can

result in heavy penalties

and may even lead to a

shutdown of operations.

Why is a Jurisdictional Inspection necessary?

We wait until the boiler is

closed for the season

before doing an internal

inspection.

When is a Jurisdictional Inspection usually done?
