In addition to the boiler inspectors authorized by KRS 236.070, the department
shall, upon the request of any company authorized to insure against loss from
explosion of boilers and pressure vessels in this state, issue to any boiler inspectors
of said company commissions as special boiler inspectors, provided that each such
special boiler inspector before receiving such commission, shall satisfactorily pass
the examination provided for in KRS 236.090, or, in lieu of such examination, shall
hold a commission or certificate of competency as an inspector of boilers and
pressure vessels for a state that has a standard of examination substantially equal to
that of this Commonwealth or a commission as an inspector of boilers and pressure
vessels issued by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors.
Such special boiler inspectors shall receive no salary from, nor shall any of their
expenses be paid by, the state and the continuance of a special inspector's
commission shall be conditioned upon his or her continuing in the employ of an
insurance company duly authorized as aforesaid and upon his or her maintenance of
the standards imposed by this chapter.
Such special boiler inspectors shall inspect all boilers and pressure vessels insured
by their respective companies, and, when so inspected and reported as required, the
owners and users of such insured boilers and pressure vessels shall be exempt from
the payment to the state of the inspection fees as provided for in KRS 236.120 and
236.130.
Each company employing such special boiler inspectors shall within thirty (30) days
following each certificate inspection made by such inspectors, file a report of such
inspection with the division upon appropriate forms prescribed by the division.
Other than the certificate inspection report, no reporting of other inspections shall
be required except when such inspections disclose that the boiler or pressure vessel
is in a dangerous condition.
