What must a Certificate of Fitness holder do with their certificate?

A Certificate of Fitness holder is required to make their certificate available for inspection. This means that the individual must have the certificate readily accessible to show to authorities, such as a fire marshal or other officials, upon request. This requirement ensures compliance with safety regulations and allows for verification of the holder's qualifications to perform specific tasks or duties related to fire safety and emergency preparedness.

Displaying the certificate publicly is not a standard requirement; it needs to be accessible for inspection but does not have to be on display at all times. Keeping it on file alone is insufficient since it does not ensure immediate availability for inspection, which is crucial in case of inspections or emergencies. Renewing the certificate monthly is not a correct practice; certificates typically have a specified validity period and must be renewed according to regulatory guidelines, which may vary. Making the certificate available for inspection illustrates the holder's commitment to safety and adherence to standards put forth by the FDNY.
