Who enforces Alberta's boiler regulations?

• A. ABSA
• B. ASME
• C. OSHA
• D. CSA

Answer: (A)

In Alberta, the enforcement of boiler regulations is handled by ABSA, the Alberta Boilers Safety Association. ABSA administers the province’s boiler and pressure vessel safety program, issuing permits, conducting inspections, and licensing boiler operators and installations to ensure safe operation. Their authority comes from provincial laws like the Safety Codes Act and the Alberta Boiler Safety Regulations. While organizations such as ASME provide design and construction codes and CSA sets national standards, they are not the enforcing body in Alberta, and OSHA is a U.S. agency not applicable to Alberta.
