Abstract
The Finnish pressure equipment legislation was recentry
renewed. According to the new legislation, a boiler plant
hazard assessment must be carried out in certain boiler
plants. The plant's owner and holder must identify
potential hazards, their causes and consequences.
Furthermore, the significance of the identified hazard
scenarios and the appropriateness of the risk reduction
measures and safety precautions must be assessed. All
this, i.e. the description of the plant's hazard
assessment process and its results, must be in the form
of a written report to be presented to the inspection
body for approval. The paper presents the hazard
assessment requirements, an approach to fulfil it, and
experiences based on projects carried out by VTT.
