Why do you stay in California if it's so bad there?

Cal-Osha requires an annual pressure vessel test, they never did bill us for it but would send someone out to test for thin spots up to the point we got rid of the last employee a few years back, if you have one on your payroll you are required.

I've never heard of that,and have never been at an employer when Cal-OSHA came by to do a test.

Part of my job was testing pressure vessels we made, If Cal-OSHA came by 100% i'd be involved, never was in 30 years at multiple companies.

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think how nice it would be to be in one of the more conservative states, California has to be the biggest pain in the rear to do this type of business in. I don't believe in the state's communism views, or it's radical government. That said just the basic logistics of moving are numerous.
The moving of equipment/equipment and resetting up even a state or two away could easily exceed several million. But the way things are going here who knows.

That makes sense. I spend winters in Arizona and most of my neighbors are from California and I hear the same things out of them. They seem to have no love for their native state of California.

Pressure Vessel Unit​

The pressure vessel unit is responsible under Labor Code sections 7620-7771 for the inspection of boilers (any fired or unfired pressure vessel used to generate steam pressure by the application of heat), and tanks (any fired or unfired pressure vessel used for the storage of air pressure or liquefied petroleum gases).

Permits are required for air tanks, LPG propane storage tanks over 125 gallons, and high pressure boilers over 15 psig steam. Permit exceptions depend on vessel capacity and operating pressures. Permit inspections may be performed by a Pressure Vessel Unit inspector or an inspector employed by an qualified insurance company. Schedule an inspection with the nearest pressure vessel office or contact your insurer to see if they provide this inspection service. The complete regulations are contained in Title 8 regulations, sections 450-560 and sections 750-797.

$112/tonne doesn't sound so bad, until you pay the trucking bill associated with it.

Not sure how that is "down" tho?
Has it been up the last few months?
Last I knew it was in the tank.

Funny story about an annual inspection......Indian guy used to do the sandblasters tanks......anyhoo,I shut off the 6 " pipe to one tank beside an outbuilding.......the inspector is inside the tank checking thickness with an ultrasonic meter,and the hissing of air leaking is getting louder and louder.......Im trying to hurry up this guy ,finally he gets out of the tank,and walks away.......then there is a massive air blast and a big lump of rubber comes flying out of the tank,and smashes into a water cooler about 20 feet away..........the lump of rubber was a part of a butterfly valve Col had used in the airline ......only meant for 30 psi max............would have killed the Indian if he had been in the tank...........i had another of Cols crap valves blow out in my face the moment I put a spanner onto it.........12,000CFM blowing out make a lot of noise ...no wonder Im deaf.
