The Safety Standards Division (SSD) is staffed with inspectors located
geographically around the state. This division regulates the installation,

workforce and the general public. |

Boiler inspection regulations were first established in 1921. These laws
were later repealed by new regulations enacted in 1982.
The Oklahoma Department of Labor has jurisdiction over high-pressure boilers,
low pressure steam and hot water boilers, other pressure vessels and licensing
requirements for firms engaged in the repair, service and installation of
boilers and pressure vessels. All boilers are to be inspected by either
the state or an authorized insurance company at least once a year with high
pressure boilers being inspected twice a year. Some pressure vessels are
inspected every three years.
All inspectors are required to be commissioned by the National Board of Boilers
and Pressure Vessels. Today, there are approximately 15,000 boilers and pressure
vessels in use in Oklahoma with approximately 475 firms licensed to install,
service and repair.

The boiler regulations enacted in 1982 also
include the requirement for inspection of
domestic hot water heaters located in city, county or state facilities. This change was
the result of the tragic deaths of six children and one teacher who were killed when a
hot water heater exploded in the Star Elementary School cafeteria in Oklahoma
City.
In all, the Oklahoma Department of Labor has jurisdiction to inspect
almost 20,000 hot water heaters. Of these, approximately 9,000 hot
water heaters are inspected annually.
