Public Safety Portal Help

Making physical corrections to a device itself does not close a violation. Device owners must also notify the appropriate IDHS Section of the fix before the comply-by date. After 30 days, violations become eligible to be sanctioned and fines will be enforced.

1. Go to your account dashboard in the Public Safety Portal. If in violation, an orange Mark violations as cleared button will appear in the "I want to..." section on the left side of the dashboard. Note: This will only appear if there is an open violation in the system.
   
   
2. After a violation has been physically corrected, click the Mark violations as cleared button.
Click the green View button on the right side of the non-compliant device.

Click the green View button on the right side of the non-compliant device.

View the document below for a step-by-step tutorial on entering inspections into the Public Safety Portal. The example used is for a boilers and pressure vessels inspection.

How to Enter an Inspection

Step 1: Create an account – Note:  If your business has a general email it is recommended to set up an account under that. If you use a specific person’s e-mail and they leave the company you may longer have access to that e-mail, a new portal will need to be created and all devices will need to be added again.

Step 2: Login - This will take you to the main dashboard page pictured below

Step 3: In the upper right-hand corner there is a spyglass labeled search, left click on it

Step 4: Enter the State Permit Tag number (state number) and hit search.  The state number is the blue tag number on your device that starts with IN or BP.  Do not add the IN to the number when searching. Just type the numbered portion it will be a six-digit number.  Do not fill anything else out on this page. (see Below). After you hit search a device will populate at the bottom.  If it is the correct device click on add to my account in the bottom right

To see the device that was just added click on my dashboard

Click My Permits on the left side

After clicking My Permits you will be directed to the screen seen below; left click

to highlight Boiler Pressure Vessel highlighted in blue on the screenshot here.

If you’re in violation, just because you’ve made the physical corrections to the device itself, obtaining official compliance doesn’t stop there.  DHS – Boiler and pressure vessel division must be notified prior to the comply by date that compliance has been met.  After 30 days the violation becomes eligible to be “sanctioned.” To officially close out the violation, on your dashboard on the Public Safety Portal, please follow the below instructions.

When you ARE NOT in violation, the dashboard will look like this; notice there isn’t an orange ribbon:

When you ARE in violation, you will have an Orange ribbon labeled, Mark Violations as cleared followed by the number of violations.  Please note if a Violation is not cleared within 30 days of it being issued you are subject to a $250 dollar fine

The Orange ribbon on the screenshot above will only appear when you have an unsatisfied violation(s) in the system. When the violation(s) have been officially corrected, you must click on the orange ribbon which will populate the below screenshot, select view on the right as seen below.

Next, you will check ‘Mark Resolved’ if the corrections have officially been made.

The very last step will be to sign and fill out the affirmation.  This is legally binding, by signing this you are affirming the violation has been resolved.  Please note if the violation is not resolved and an audit confirms this was falsely signed, the State of Indiana may take legal action. Expired permits are the exception you have to clear out the violation before you can make a payment and renew the permit please go ahead and do so.

If all these steps are not completed, we must assume the violation still exists. If all the steps were completed there would be one less violation on your dashboard or all violations may be cleared with no orange ribbon present.

Thank you for your compliance!  If you have questions about the public safety portal, contact the Boiler and Pressure Division office at (317)232-1921 or BPV@dhs.in.gov
