Air Receiver Inspections – Why It’s So Important!

Air Receiver Inspection at Patritti Wines

Air receivers are a critical component in various industrial systems across Australia, playing an important role in storing compressed air for a range of applications. Air receivers are integral to the efficient operation of many Australian businesses, and ensuring their safety and reliability requires regular air receiver inspections.

In Australia, workplace safety regulations mandate the inspection of air receivers to ensure they meet specific standards, as outlined in the AS3788 Standard. These regulations are designed to protect workers and the business from potential hazards with compressed air systems.

Preventing failures in air receivers is also imperative. Regular inspections help identify signs of wear, corrosion or damage to an air receiver that could potentially cause issues in time. Having your air receiver inspected will allow time for repairs or replacements and help to prevent failures that could result in injuries or property damage. Additionally, air receivers that undergo regular inspection will operate more efficiently, allowing for better workflow.

The cost of an air receiver inspection will greatly outweigh any expenses caused by air receiver failure. Identifying and addressing issues during inspections can prevent major breakdowns that will incur costly repair or replacements.

Failure to comply with air receiver inspection regulations can result in legal consequences. Non-compliance with statutory requirements may lead to fines, penalties, or even legal action.
