General Information
In Manitoba, any person who performs welding processes on
equipment or installations regulated by the
Steam and Pressure Plants Act
and
Gas and Oil Burner
Act must hold a valid Manitoba High Pressure Welder's Licence issued by the Mechanical
and Engineering Branch of the Manitoba Department of Labour. This includes but is
not limited to welding processes done on:
-
Boilers, and all other pressure vessels, and
-
Piping in steam heating and process systems; piping in hot
water heating and process systems; compressed air systems over 15 psi; refrigeration
systems; chemical handling systems; natural gas, propane and fuel oil delivery systems.
There are also other agencies in the province that may
require a welder to hold a valid Manitoba High Pressure Welder's Licence issued by the
Mechanical and Engineering Branch, even though the welding is being done on equipment
that is not regulated under the legislation administered by the Mechanical and
Engineering Branch.
For instance, a welder must hold Mechanical and Engineering's
Manitoba High Pressure Welder's Licence to meet American Petroleum Institute Code
requirements when performing welding processes on API-regulated vessels.
It is the welder's responsibility to ensure that he/she has
the licence required for the job at hand.
