Each special inspector shall notify the State Fire Marshal's Office within thirty days of when a boiler is insured, canceled, not renewed, or suspended because of unsafe conditions. If, upon inspection, a special inspector finds a boiler or pressure vessel is unsafe for further operation, the inspector must notify the owner or user within one hour stating what repairs or other corrective measures are required. If the owner or user does not agree to make the repairs or adopt other corrective measures, the special inspector must notify the chief inspector. Until the corrections have been made, no further operation of the boiler is permitted. If an operation certificate for the boiler is then in force, it must be suspended. A special inspector shall file a complete report of each boiler inspection with the State Fire Marshal's Office. The special inspector shall list the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors number, if available, and the state number on each boiler inspection report.
