Summary
In short
- A pressure system written scheme is a plan used in KnowSafe that sets out which parts of a pressure system are examined, how, and at what interval. It is built against ISO 45001 cl.8.1 and forms part of the Pressure Systems and Refrigeration programme.
- Written by a competent person and reviewed on modification. Owned by engineering.
- The template holds 41 fields across 4 sections, with parts covered repeating for each entry.
- Scoring is scheme current, where high is good.
- ISO 45001 is occupational health and safety management systems. The international standard for managing worker health and safety. Certifiable, and the backbone of most of this library.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links Vessel inspections, Permits.
What it is
What it is
What is a pressure system written scheme?
A pressure system written scheme is a plan used in KnowSafe that sets out which parts of a pressure system are examined, how, and at what interval. It is built against ISO 45001 cl.8.1 and forms part of the Pressure Systems and Refrigeration programme.
When is a pressure system written scheme completed?
A pressure system written scheme is completed when the thing being planned is created, and again at the stated review interval. Written by a competent person and reviewed on modification.
When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This plan is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this plan covers has occurred, or is about to
- Authorisation is needed before the work can begin
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form PWS-2026-000
- You are running the Pressure Systems and Refrigeration programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links vessel inspections, permits
Not for
- Steam System Safety Check, which checks boiler operation, water treatment, blowdown, relief devices and steam trap condition.
- Boiler Attendant Log, which records the periodic checks a boiler attendant makes through a shift, with readings and any action taken.
- Compressed Gas Cylinder Check, which checks cylinder storage, securing, segregation, valve protection and test dates.
- Anything outside KnowSafe, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the pressure system written scheme template based on?+
It is built against ISO 45001 cl.8.1. ISO 45001 is occupational health and safety management systems. The international standard for managing worker health and safety. Certifiable, and the backbone of most of this library. ISO is international Organization for Standardization. A voluntary international standard. Widely adopted, often required by customers, and certifiable where a management system standard.
What sections does the pressure system written scheme contain?+
There are 4 sections: header, system scope, parts covered, scheme quality. Together they hold 41 fields, 31 of which are required.
How often is a pressure system written scheme raised?+
A new record is raised when the thing being planned is created, and again at the stated review interval. Each one is given an ID in the form PWS-2026-000, so it can be traced and referenced from other records.
Which programme does the pressure system written scheme belong to?+
It is part of Pressure Systems and Refrigeration, Asset Inspection and Statutory Examination. Statutory examinations in date and an ammonia position that stands up to a regulator visit.
How is a pressure system written scheme scored?+
Scoring is scheme current. High is good. Scores exist to make the form tell you something, not to produce a percentage for its own sake.
Can the pressure system written scheme template be changed?+
Yes. Every field, option, score and conditional rule is editable, and the links to other templates come with it. Most teams install it as it is, run it for a cycle, then adjust.
The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the pressure system written scheme library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowSafe — safety and compliance. Incidents, hazards, permits, inspections and the critical controls behind them.
