This is a reminder that if you have customers that own and operate agricultural boilers and pressure vessels (BPVs), they should report their devices to TSSA following the revocation of the regulatory exemption on agricultural BPVs on July 1, 2021.
The equipment reporting form – to be completed by September 30, 2021 – is the first step. TSSA needs basic information to do a site risk assessment and establish a priority list for scheduling the inspection to be conducted within five years. Priority for inspections will be given to agricultural operations with high-risk sites.
Sites will receive a notification one month before the inspection date. If the devices are exempt from the regulation under O. Reg. 220/01 s.2, there will be no fee associated with the inspection.
To reschedule the inspection, please contact agriculture.bpv@tssa.org or your local inspector.
We encourage you to share this information with your agricultural customers:
