Boiler Explosions Act
Boiler Explosions Act, 1882 (English) (45 & 46Vict. c. 22), whereby detailed notice of an explosion from any boiler, i.e. (s. 3), 'any closed vessel used for generating steam, or for heating water, or for heating other liquids, or into which steam is admitted for heating, steaming, boiling, or other similar purposes,' must be sent within 24 hours by the 'owner or user,' or their agent, to the Board of Trade, who have power to order an inquiry with respect to the explosion.
