Product Overview
This Pressure Vessel Safety SWMS is a site-ready Safe Work Method Statement designed to identify hazards and implement controls when working with pressurised systems and equipment. It is a comprehensive document that covers multiple aspects of pressure vessel operations to support robust WHS compliance and risk management on Australian worksites.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Dealing safely with pressurised containers and equipment, including cylinders, receivers, accumulators and tanks
- Design and testing considerations for pressure vessels to ensure compliance with engineering and WHS requirements
- Safe handling, transport and storage of pressurised equipment on site and in workshops
- Maintaining pressure vessel integrity through inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT) and preventative maintenance routines
- Opening pressurised systems using controlled depressurisation, isolation and lock out/tag out procedures
- Routine and non-routine pressure vessel operations, including start-up, shutdown and emergency response procedures
- Utilising pressure gauges and instrumentation to monitor system performance and detect unsafe pressure conditions
- Working around pressurised systems with appropriate exclusion zones, guarding and protection from stored energy release
- Working with pressured systems containing hazardous substances, including chemical, steam, gas and compressed air services
- Selection and use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for pressure-related hazards such as rupture, leaks and noise
- Implementation of isolation, tagging and verification of zero energy prior to maintenance or intrusive work on pressure vessels
- Emergency procedures for leaks, ruptures, over-pressurisation and uncontrolled release of pressure or product
Who is this for?
This SWMS is designed for mechanical contractors, boiler and pressure vessel technicians, plant operators, maintenance teams, engineers and site supervisors responsible for the design, operation and maintenance of pressurised systems.
