Certified Air Receiver Tank with JKKP and DOSH Approval
Protecting Your Operations: The Critical Role of Certified Air Receiver Tanks with JKKP and DOSH Approval
In the bustling world of industrial operations, compressed air is often the unseen workhorse... improperly designed, uncertified, or poorly maintained air receiver tanks pose severe risks – not just to equipment, but more importantly, to human lives.
As a representative of PH Engineering & Machinery Sdn Bhd, we’ve seen firsthand the catastrophic consequences... obtaining and maintaining a certified air receiver tank with JKKP and DOSH approval is not merely a recommendation; it is an absolute necessity and a legal mandate in Malaysia.
Why Certification Matters: The Unseen Dangers
- Safety Hazards: Risk of injury or fatality from shrapnel, blasts, or structural damage.
- Legal Ramifications: Violations of the Factory and Machinery Act 1967 and OSHA 1994 bring fines, prosecution, or imprisonment.
- Operational Disruption: Explosions or shutdowns cause downtime, damage, and losses.
- Insurance Invalidation: Non-compliant tanks void coverage, leaving businesses financially exposed.
Understanding JKKP & DOSH Approval
JKKP (Malay) and DOSH (English) are Malaysia’s workplace safety regulators... their approval ensures design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance meet the highest standards.
- Design & Fabrication Approval
- Material Certification
- Hydrostatic Testing
- Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
- Installation Inspection
- Periodic Inspection & Re-certification
