Preparing for the heating season is not just about filling systems with water; it is a large-scale safety exam. In Belarus, the campaign to prepare for the autumn-winter period is in full swing.

The main controller of industrial safety of the country's heat sources traditionally is the Department for Safe Conduct of Work in Industry of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus. The department's inspectors assess the readiness of boiler plants with a capacity of more than 200 kW. Without their positive conclusion, no major heat source is entitled to obtain a winter readiness passport.

⚡️What inspectors check this year:

• technical condition: reliability of boiler operation, serviceability of safety automation, regulation and alarm systems;
• documentation: availability of licenses, maintenance contracts, results of technical diagnostics of equipment with expired service life;
• personnel readiness: completion of training, verification of knowledge on industrial safety issues and readiness to act in emergency situations.

This year, 5,215 boiler plants with a total capacity exceeding 200 kilowatts each are subject to assessment for autumn-winter readiness, and more than 5,000 have already been inspected and are ready for the upcoming season.

📢Important reminder for business entities: all defects identified by inspectors must be eliminated immediately. Violation of the rules for preparation and operation of heat sources entails strict administrative liability.
