When must a person with a COF be present in the boiler room?

During inspections only
When starting up the boiler
At all times while in operation
During emergencies only

The correct answer is: At all times while in operation

A person with a Certificate of Fitness (COF) must be present in the boiler room at all times while the boiler is in operation to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. This requirement is in place because operating a boiler involves several potential hazards, including high pressure, high temperatures, and the risk of malfunction. Having a qualified person on-site allows for immediate response to any issues that may arise, such as equipment failure or the need to shut down the system safely. This presence also provides the opportunity for ongoing monitoring of the system's performance. The COF holder is trained to recognize abnormal conditions that may develop during operation, ensuring swift actions can be taken when necessary. Therefore, constant oversight by a certified individual is essential for maintaining safety and operational standards in boiler operations.
