--
No person may act either as a general inspector or as a special inspector of
elevators or fixed guideway systems unless he or she holds a certificate of
competency from the department.
Application for examination as an inspector of elevators shall be in writing,
accompanied by a fee of ten dollars ($10), upon a blank to be furnished by the
department, stating the school education of the applicant, a list of his or her
employers, his or her period of employment, and the position held with each.
An applicant shall also submit a letter from one (1) or more of his or her
previous employers certifying as to his or her character and experience.
Applications shall be rejected which contain any willful falsification or untruthful
statements. The applicant, if the department deems his or her history and
experience sufficient, shall be tested by means of a written examination dealing
with the construction, installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of
elevators, fixed guideway systems, and their appurtenances, and the applicant
shall be accepted or rejected on the merits of his or her application and
examination.
The department shall promulgate administrative regulations establishing the
training and certification requirements for inspectors of fixed guideway
systems.
The department shall issue a certificate of competency in the inspection of
elevators to any applicant found competent upon examination. A rejected
applicant shall be entitled, after the expiration of ninety (90) days, and upon
payment of an examination fee of ten dollars ($10), to another examination.
Should an applicant fail to pass the prescribed examination on second trial, he
or she will not be permitted to be an applicant for another examination for a
period of one (1) year after the second failure.
