Safety codes officers inspect the construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of structures and systems to ensure compliance with relevant codes, standards, and regulations.
To work and to administer the Safety Codes Act, safety codes officers must be designated powers. Accredited organization and safety codes officers (or a person hired to issue permits) complete a joint application for Designation of Powers.
Safety codes officers are involved with the elements of public safety covered by the Safety Codes Act in the areas listed below.
The list below outlines required entry qualifications (checklists) for that discipline, and additional training that you are required to complete for certification as a safety codes officer.
When you have successfully completed all of the requirements, you may apply for a Certificate of Competency as a safety codes officer by submitting a completed application form with the application fee and supporting documentation such as a copy of your journeyman certificate and your resume detailing the required years of related experience.
Vision Statement
