Section 7354.5 Of Chapter 4. Aerial Passenger Tramways From California Labor Code >> Division 5. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 4.
7354.5
. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, in any
case in which an insurer admitted to transact insurance in this
state has inspected or caused to be inspected, by a qualified,
licensed professional engineer who is registered in California
pursuant to Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 6700) of Division 3 of
the Business and Professions Code, any aerial passenger tramway used
as a ski lift, the division may, if it finds such inspections were
made according to the provisions of subdivisions (a) and (b) of
Section 7344, accept such inspections in lieu of any other
inspections for that year, except that the initial inspection of a
new ski lift or of a major alteration to an existing ski lift shall
be performed by a division safety engineer. Such private inspector
shall, before commencing his duties therein, secure from the division
a certificate of competency to make such inspections. The division
may determine the competency of any applicant for such certificate,
either by examination or by other satisfactory proof of
qualification.
The division may rescind at any time, upon good cause being shown
therefor, and after hearing, if requested, any certificate of
competency issued by it to a ski lift inspector. The inspection
reports made to the division shall be in such form and content as the
division may find necessary for acceptance as a proper inspection
made by such private inspector.
