More…CHANGES TO OHSA 85 OF 1993
A few years ago the Department of Labour embarked on a process to modify the existing Vessels Under Pressure Regulations, as stated in the OHSA 85 of 1993. These modifications have been gazetted and the Pressure Equipment Regulations now superceed the VUP regs.
The result of the new regulations is now tighter control on the companies that carry out inspection and testing as well as quality control. In other words all companies carrying out inspection and testing on pressure equipment must be Accredited Inspection Authorities with SANAS for both in-service and new equipment.
We have an agreement with Genrox Management Services as well as other AIA's to fullfill our statutory obligation.
