The owner-user inspector applicant holds a commission as an inspector
of boilers and pressure vessels issued by the National Board of Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Inspectors.
A commission as an owner-user inspector shall be issued only if, in addition to
meeting the requirements of this section, the inspector is continuously employed by
the company for the purpose of making inspections of pressure vessels used or to be
used by the company, not of pressure vessels to be resold.
A licensed owner-user inspector is not authorized to inspect boilers within the
Commonwealth.
A licensed owner-user inspector may inspect all pressure vessels insured by the
inspector's employing company. When the vessels are inspected and reported as
required, the owners and users of insured pressure vessels shall be exempt from
payment to the state of inspection fees as provided in KRS 236.130.
Each company employing a licensed owner-user inspector shall, within thirty (30)
days following each certificate of inspection, file a report of inspection with the
department. Reports are to be submitted upon forms prescribed by the department.
No reporting of inspections other than the certificate of inspection reports shall be
required unless an inspection reveals that the pressure vessel is in a dangerous
condition.
A licensed owner-user inspector shall receive no salary from, nor shall any expenses
be paid by, the Commonwealth.
Continuance of an owner-user inspector's commission shall be conditioned upon the
inspector continuing employment for an owner-user company meeting requirements
of subsection (1) of this section.
