Compliance Support for Unaware Pressure Equipment Owners

---

If your facility uses boilers, pressure vessels, water heaters, thermal fluid systems, or other pressurized equipment, you may be subject to the Pressure Equipment Safety Regulation (PESR) — even if your core business isn’t industrial.

Common examples include:

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Schools, universities, and recreation centers
• Hotels, resorts, and public buildings
• Food processing or packaging plants
• Light manufacturing or fabrication shops
• Commercial buildings with heating or sterilization systems

Many Alberta organizations are unknowingly non-compliant, exposing themselves to:

• Regulatory enforcement by ABSA 
• Insurance complications
• Increased risk of failure or injury
• Unbudgeted repair or replacement costs

We offer affordable, practical services to help you quickly assess and achieve compliance:

• PESR Compliance Audits - to determine your responsibilities under the Act.
• Equipment Registration & Inspection - including assistance with AB-31, AB-81, and AB-521 processes.
• Integrity Watch Program - our turnkey service that helps Owners manage pressure equipment compliance without needing a full in-house program.

Not all risks are obvious. Through our Hidden Findings program, we share real inspection case studies where unexpected issues were discovered — from corroded bolting to startup failures. These lessons help Owners and Operators stay alert to risks that might otherwise go unnoticed.
