What Are the PSSR Regulations?
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974), it is an employer’s legal responsibility to provide a safe working environment. The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR 2000) fall under this requirement, so it’s crucial that, as an owner or user, you abide by the most recent legislation.
PSSR regulations require pressure systems to be inspected in accordance with a Written Scheme of Examination (WSE) that must be in place before any qualifying pressure equipment can be used. The aim of these regulations is to prevent serious injury from the hazard of stored energy as a result of the failure of a pressure system or one of its component parts.
