An unplanned inspection conducted by the regulatory body VERT revealed several significant safety and operational violations concerning water heating equipment. Specifically, inspectors noted that one water heating boiler had been improperly modified, with the seals on unused burners having been removed without authorization. Furthermore, the unit was found to be operating at a power level nearly double that permitted by established guidelines.
Additionally, the inspection uncovered that Kauno energija was operating a new water heating boiler before the necessary commissioning procedures had been finalized. Regulatory standards mandate stringent operational requirements for energy installations to guarantee the safe functioning of potentially hazardous equipment. The report emphasized that making arbitrary technical alterations or running installations without completing prescribed safety protocols presents considerable risks, affecting both company employees and the surrounding environment.
Matas Taparauskas, Deputy Chairman of VERT, stated that such breaches of safety procedure are unacceptable. The findings underscore the necessity of adhering strictly to established engineering and safety protocols to maintain operational integrity and mitigate potential hazards within industrial facilities.
