First Notice regarding Contractor Scheduling
Posted: May 10, 2013

P&CS is wrapping up a project which includes a software application developed for licensed UST contractors to use. In this first stage, they will only be establishing on-line access with P&CS in order to schedule jobs and request Emergency Permits. The scheduling will be done electronically, with the software application allowing automatic scheduling with the correct STSS for the job location by coordinating the inspectors’ schedules with the scheduling requests. We plan to build further contractor-related applications on this foundation in the near future.

Boilers and Pressure Vessels

The Division of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Safety regulates the construction, installation, operation, inspection and repair of boilers and pressure vessels throughout the state of Illinois. Due to the potential risks and hazards involved with the usage of boilers and pressure vessels, the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Safety Act was adopted to safeguard the citizens of Illinois.

Boilers and pressure vessels are used for various applications in all types of locations: schools, hospitals, churches, factories, day care centers, restaurants, dormitories, libraries, municipal buildings, refineries, chemical plants, prisons and many other facilities. Currently there are over 100,000 boilers and pressure vessels registered and inspected on a routine basis by authorized commissioned inspectors.

Proposed Part 120 Rule Changes

On April 26, 2013, proposed rule changes to the boiler and pressure vessel rules were published in the Illinois Register, starting the public comment period for these rule changes. These proposed changes involve updates to the national standards cited in the boiler and pressure vessel rules, to inspections procedures for historical boilers, and address an audit finding concerning when a certificate inspection is considered untimely. Further information is found in the attached rulemaking documents, posted below.
