California ICC UST Inspector Practice Exam

In which scenario would a person NOT be eligible to conduct a Monitoring System Certification?

1. If they have an ICC certification

2. If they do not have a contractor license

3. If they hold a 40 Hour OSHA Hazwoper certificate

4. If they have a certification from the equipment manufacturer

The correct answer is: If they do not have a contractor license

A person would not be eligible to conduct a Monitoring System Certification if they do not have a contractor license because such a license is often a requirement to ensure that the individual has met specific standards of knowledge and competency related to the work being performed. In this field, certifications and licenses serve to guarantee that professionals are qualified to handle potentially hazardous environments and regulations related to underground storage tanks (USTs). Having an ICC certification, a 40 Hour OSHA Hazwoper certificate, or a certification from the equipment manufacturer does not disqualify someone from conducting a Monitoring System Certification. An ICC certification indicates the individual has knowledge of UST regulations and operations, while a Hazwoper certificate shows they are trained in handling hazardous materials safely. A manufacturer's certification typically demonstrates that the individual is knowledgeable about the specific equipment being used, which can be advantageous in monitoring system operations.
