Abstract
The Finnish pressure equipment legislation was modified
in 1999 and a requirement for boiler plant hazard
assessment came into effect. According to the
requirement, the plant s owner and holder must identify
potential hazard, their causes and consequences, assess
the significance of these, and assess the appropriateness
of the risk reduction measures and safety precautions.
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 the presented to the inspection
body for approval. The hazard assessment requirement and
an approach to fulfil the requirement are presented and
discussed in this paper. The approach is to a large
extent based on the experiences that VTT has obtained
from projects whose aim has been to prepare a safety
report based on the requirements of the Seveso Directive.
Experiences based on case studies are also presented.
