Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure (SWP) outlines the safe operation, maintenance, and inspection of air receivers, excluding those containing hazardous gases. It emphasizes that only authorized and competent persons may perform adjustments, maintenance, and inspections. The document details plant registration requirements based on hazard levels and specifies the installation and design requirements, including pressure relief valves, blow-down valves, and proper mounting on stable surfaces.

The SWP covers operational guidelines, such as regular monitoring of safety devices, ensuring safe operating pressures, and immediate rectification of faults. Maintenance requirements include draining accumulated oil and water, cleaning gauges, and addressing safety defects promptly. Inspection protocols involve both external and internal checks to identify anomalies like corrosion, leaks, or cracks, using non-destructive testing methods. Inspections and repairs must be carried out by qualified personnel to maintain the structural integrity and safe operation of the air receiver. Defective or irreparable equipment must be decommissioned.
