What are the associated hazards of boilers?

Boilers present several hazards, including the risk of explosion due to pressure buildup, which can occur from overheating or system failures. There is also the potential for carbon monoxide leaks, which pose serious health risks, and scalding injuries from hot water or steam. Additionally, improper maintenance can lead to corrosion and mechanical failures, increasing the risk of accidents. Regular inspections and proper safety protocols are essential to mitigate these hazards.
