What is the penalty for working on pressure piping without a license?

The penalty for working on pressure piping without a license is a $1000 fine. This amount reflects the seriousness with which licensing requirements are taken in the field of pressure piping. Operating without the necessary credentials not only compromises safety but also undermines the regulatory framework established to ensure that professionals in this area are adequately trained and qualified.

In Oregon, maintaining a licensed workforce for pressure piping is critical to public safety and the integrity of the piping systems. Therefore, the specific fine associated with unlicensed work serves as a deterrent against potential violations and underscores the importance of adhering to licensing laws in the plumbing and mechanical trades.
