Under WorkSafe WA and AS/NZS 3788:2006 standards, regular air receiver inspections are required to maintain safety and identify any dangerous deterioration.
These inspections should be carried out every two years.
Why are air receiver inspections required?
Air receivers used in the workplace can be potentially dangerous, with the risk of failure and explosion causing property damage, injury and even fatality if not maintained.
This is why it’s essential to properly install, service and inspect compressed air receivers, ensuring that all equipment complies with the relevant standards and regulations.
