Many of your clients are required by state law to arrange for periodic inspections of boilers and pressure vessels. Unlike some insurers, Hartford Steam Boiler includes jurisdictional inspections in our standard coverage. But we don’t stop there. We use our databases and other resources to help identify and locate equipment that requires a jurisdictional inspection. That’s important because inspections should be completed on time. And, although HSB can help, it is the owner of the boiler or pressure vessel — not the insurer — who is responsible for complying with state inspection laws.

Inspection Facts
Here are some facts that can help your clients understand the value of including jurisdictional inspections in their equipment breakdown policy.

• Alabama recently became the 49th state to adopt regulations concerning jurisdictional inspections of boilers or pressure vessels. Your clients can be subject to inspections virtually anywhere in the country.

• HSB performs more jurisdictional inspections than any other company and we employ experienced inspectors throughout the United States.
• The types of clients that need inspections run the gamut — from schools, churches and dry cleaners, to office buildings, hotels and manufacturers.
• Boilers and pressure vessels do have explosive potential. Inspection laws are intended to help prevent serious accidents by making sure the equipment meets state codes.
