Compressed Air - Maintaining a safe system
Regulation 12 of the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR) is very short and simple, as these things go: "The user of an installed system and the owner of a mobile system shall ensure that the system is properly maintained in good repair, so as to prevent danger." That's it. So if you're running a compressed air installation, you have a legal requirement to keep it maintained.

One consequence is increasing numbers of companies seeing energy saving as a business opportunity - and hence the growing number of ferings available. But while most ideas are good and very workable, others, inevitably, are either naïve or downright fraudulent.
