What is a boiler?
A boiler is a fuel-burning appliance that produces hot water or steam. The hot water or steam circulates through piping and is used for heating or for industrial processes. Because boilers operate under heat and pressure, they need proper operation, maintenance and trained operators to stay efficient, reliable and safe.
Why is boiler training important?
Boiler training helps operators understand how boilers work and how to run them safely. It supports efficient, reliable operation, protects an expensive piece of equipment, and reduces the risk of dangerous failures. Regular refresher training also helps new and experienced operators follow the same procedures.
Who needs boiler training?
Anyone who operates, maintains or works near boilers and boiler piping should understand the basics, including operators, maintenance staff and supervisors. Requirements for licensed boiler operators vary by state and jurisdiction, so check the rules that apply to your location and boiler type.
