Notice of Declaratory Statement

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES
Division of State Fire Marshal
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the Department of Financial Services, Division of State Fire Marshal has received the petition for declaratory statement from All Children’s Hospital on December 2, 2010. The petition seeks the agency's opinion as to the applicability of Chapter 554, F.S., Boiler Safety Code 554.108 Inspection (1), and Section 554.1021, F.S., Definitions; also, Rule 69A-51.060, F.A.C., Requirements for New Installations as it applies to the petitioner.
All Children’s Hospital is a place of public assembly as defined in the F.S. and F.A.C. cited, and new boilers are installed in the Central Energy Plant for the new hospital, the boilers are located in a separate building two blocks away from the hospital. As such, the boilers are not located within a place of public assembly, and the Boiler Safety Code does not apply in this instance to All Children’s Hospital. Since the boilers are not located within a place of public assembly, there is no requirement for Ladders and runways to be installed for the boilers in the Central Energy plant at All Children’s Hospital.
