PASSED

The enacted law creates Philadelphia requirements for workers who install, inspect, repair, test, or maintain fire suppression systems. Workers must pass an examination or meet other qualification rules to receive a certificate, while apprentices must obtain a permit and work under certified supervision; contractors may not advertise or use uncertified or unpermitted workers, and violations can result in fines, suspension, or license revocation.

Adding a new Chapter 9-2500 to The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Fire Suppression System Workers;" providing for the examination and certification of fire suppression system workers and the permitting of fire suppression system apprentices; prohibiting the performance of fire suppression system work without the necessary certification and/or permit; and providing for penalties; all under certain terms and conditions.
