So MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) does a surpise inspection on my operation. They find no apparent violations. And then the inspector says " may I see your certification of inspection on that air compressor tank in your service truck"? I say I didn't know I need one ( I've been inspected annually for 30+ years). He gets out his little fine book, whalla, I get his autograph.
So now I find a certified inspector to come and inspect the tanks (as I have one in the main shop also). I get a nice little bill of $25. Now I'm thinking that's not to bad a price to inspect two pressure vessels. After all the inspection is good for two years and I sure wouldn't want a pressure vessel to blow up!
So today in the mail, I get a bill from the State of Minnesota requiring another $20 for my annual registration for two pressure vessel's.
My question's are, is this the same for each state and who dream's up this s**t?
