7-212 Approval of Hospital Inspector of Record for Construction Projects

California Administrative Code 2019 > 7 Safety Standards for Health Facilities > 19 Certification and Approval of Hospital Inspectors > 7-212 Approval of Hospital Inspector of Record for Construction Projects
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
  1. It is incumbent upon the hospital governing board or authority and the architect or structural engineer, or both, in responsible charge of the work, or the engineer in responsible charge of the work, to select the appropriate inspector(s) for a project. The hospital governing board or authority shall submit to the Office an application for each Hospital Inspector of Record proposed to perform construction inspection on a specified hospital construction project. The hospital governing board or authority shall obtain Office approval of proposed Hospital Inspector(s) of Record prior to commencement of the hospital construction project in accordance with Section 7-135.
  2. The Office shall not approve a proposed Hospital Inspector of Record for a specified hospital construction project if the Office determines one of the following:

    1. The Hospital Inspector of Record applicant does not hold a valid Hospital Inspector certificate pursuant to the provisions of these regulations.
    2. The Hospital Inspector is not appropriately certified in the class of inspection required for the scope of the construction project. The Class "C" inspector does not possess a current certificate for the area of inspection proposed in accordance with Section 7-204(c)l.
    3. The Hospital Inspector is a former Office employee pursuant to subsection (c) and is within the one year restriction period governing the Office's approval of an inspector.
    4. The Hospital Inspector is committed to a workload outside the specified hospital construction project and is unable to allot adequate time to perform the work on the specified construction project, as determined by the process set forth in subsection (d).
    5. The Hospital Inspector is the architect or engineer in responsible charge of the work for the construction project specified on the Hospital Inspector of Record application.

      Exception: The Office may approve the architect or engineer in responsible charge of the work, when in the determination of the Office: (A) the project scope, duration and complexity do not merit a separate individual to serve as the Hospital Inspector of Record, and (B) the ability of the Office to obtain accurate and impartial inspection will not be jeopardized.

  3. A former employee of the Office who performed field inspections/observations or supervised staff performing field inspections/observations during employment with the Office shall not be approved for a project by the Office as a Hospital Inspector of Record within one year from the effective date of separation from the Office.
  4. When the Office determines that the cumulative workload of a Hospital Inspector of Record applicant appears excessive and may hinder competent and adequate inspection of a specified hospital construction project, the Office may request that the Hospital Inspector of Record applicant submit a written plan including a work schedule and indicating a means to perform inspection on the specified hospital construction project.

    The Office will consider specific work-related factors when reviewing the Hospital Inspector's work schedule to determine approval, pursuant to subsection (b)4. These workrelated factors are limited to the following:

    1. The geographic location of current work sites,
    2. The scope of current projects,
    3. The current phase of each project, and
    4. The number of current projects.
  5. When an inspector is approved by the Office, written notification will be sent to the hospital governing board or authority; the architect and/or engineer in responsible charge of the construction project; and the inspector of record applicant. The inspector must be in possession of this approval notice prior to commencement of construction.
  6. A Hospital Inspector of Record who has been approved by the Office must maintain valid certification throughout the term of the specified project in order to remain a Hospital Inspector of Record on the project. The Office shall rescind approval of a Hospital Inspector of Record on a project if the inspector does not comply with this provision.

Authority: Health and Safety Code Sections 18929 and 129675—130070.
