A Leadership/Program specialist course for pressure-equipment oversight, delivering 19 interactions and 6 validated competencies across registration, inspection intervals, operator competency, and record integrity. It equips accountable owners and administrators to run a defensible pressure program under Manitoba's regime.
Pressure-equipment oversight for the owner, user, plant or facility manager, and anyone accountable for a pressure-equipment PROGRAM — the owner-user of registered pressure equipment: boilers, pressure vessels, air receivers, compressed-air and compressed-gas systems, and pressure piping.
Equip the pressure-equipment owner, user and facility manager to run the system the rest of the family depends on — registering each vessel with the provincial authority, scheduling and holding its periodic inspection, assigning a competent / licensed…

Who this course is for
Owners, plant managers, and program administrators accountable for the registration, inspection, and safe operation of pressure equipment.
Owners and users of registered pressure equipment — boilers, pressure vessels, air receivers and pressure piping — accountable for keeping it legal and safe
Plant, facility and operations managers responsible for a pressure-equipment program on their site
Business owners and directors who own or lease premises with boilers, compressed-air systems or process pressure vessels
Maintenance and reliability managers who schedule inspections, relief-device testing and repairs for pressure equipment
What you will learn
Describe the owner / user role in the pressure-equipment system — you own the vessel, so you own the proof; you register it, schedule its inspection, assign a competent operator, fund the testing program, and keep the records, without operating or inspecting it yourself
Map the parties that keep pressure equipment legal and safe — owner / user, qualified operator (Boiler & Pressure Vessel Operation), provincial inspection authority, and maintenance / contractor — assign a competent / licensed operator rather than operating personally, and know when a licensed power engineer is legally required
Make the owner's cost-versus-compliance decisions — never run an unregistered or overdue-inspection vessel, never assign an unqualified operator to save cost, maintain the relief-device / safety-valve testing program, and apply management of change to added, modified or repurposed pressure equipment
Maintain a pressure-equipment oversight program — current registration certificates, a periodic-inspection schedule with the authority, assigned competent / licensed operators with training records, a relief-device testing program with records, management of change, and corrective-action tracking — and spot the missing element
Explain the provincial inspection authority and the Steam and Pressure Plants Act registration and periodic-inspection regime, and the separate Power Engineers Act operator-certification requirement that the owner supports and verifies but does not issue
Course outline
The Vessel Is Registered to You — The owner / user role: you own the vessel, you own the proof.
Who Owns What — The duty map across the parties that keep pressure equipment legal and safe.
Registration, Inspection, and the Right Operator — As the owner, you never defer registration, inspection, a qualified operator or relief-device…
The Program and the Proof — What a pressure-equipment oversight PROGRAM contains, and the owner's gap-finder skill.
The Record Is Your Defence — On the day a vessel lets go, the record is either your defence or the reason, and it is decided…

About 1 hour 10 minutes online, over 5 modules, at your own pace. It ends with a final test that needs 80% to pass.
How long is the Owner/User certificate valid?
One year from the day you pass. Orientra’s standard is for pressure-equipment oversight to be reviewed at least annually and whenever the equipment, systems, processes or ownership change — a new or modified boiler or vessel, a change of operator, a change of owner or user, a modified relief device, or a near-miss all trigger a refresh.
