Pressure Systems
Pressure systems are present in many different pieces of work equipment, from barista coffee machines to self built research equipment.
The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 require the University to manage the risk presented by the potential release of stored energy as a result of failure of a pressure system or any one of its' component parts. The document below provides you with guidance on how to find out if your work equipment is classfied as a pressure system and what you need to do if it is, for example, by arranging a review, compiling a written scheme of examination and implementing a programme of regular testing, inspection and certification by a competent person.
