Mont. Admin. R. 24.122.410 - RESPONSIBILITY OF LICENSEE
(1) Licensed boiler
operating engineers shall allow a department inspector free access to the
boiler and, when requested, shall assist the inspector with the
inspection.
(2) A power boiler in
active service (which is the period of time when the main stop valves are open
and the boiler is firing) must not be left unattended for a period longer than
it takes for the water level to drop below the normal operating level when:
(a) the feed water is shut off; and
(b) the boiler is forced to its maximum
capacity.
(3) The
operator shall personally check the operation of a power boiler, the necessary
auxiliaries, and the water level in the boiler at such intervals as are
necessary to ensure safe operation of the boiler. In no case when the power
boiler is being manually operated may this interval exceed 120 minutes, or the
requirements of the boiler manufacturer as set forth in ASME CSD 1, whichever
period is shorter.
(4) The operator
of any boiler, other than a power boiler, whenever the boiler is being manually
operated, shall personally check the operation of such boiler in intervals
established by the requirements of the boiler manufacturer as set forth in ASME
CSD 1.
(5) All applicable boiler
operating certificates and boiler operating engineer's licenses must be
conspicuously displayed in the boiler room. In lieu of posting in the boiler
room, appropriate signage may be provided, establishing the location where the
documents may be examined.
(6)
Licensees shall notify the department of any change in the status of their
responsibility to operate and/or monitor the boiler(s). Notification must be in
writing and received by the department within ten days of the change of
status.
(7) When an incident occurs
which renders a boiler inoperative, the licensee shall notify the department as
soon as it is practical.
