§ 4105.02.

No person may act, either as a general inspector or as a special inspector, of elevators,

unless the person holds a certificate of competency from the division of industrial

compliance. Application for examination as an inspector of elevators shall be in writing, accompanied

by a fee to be established as provided in section 4105.17 of the Revised Code , and upon a blank to be furnished by the division, stating the school education of

the applicant, a list of the applicant's employers, the applicant's period of employment,

and the position held with each.  An applicant shall also submit a letter from one or more of the applicant's previous

employers certifying as to the applicant's character and experience. Applications shall be rejected which contain any willful falsification or untruthful

statements.  An applicant, if the division considers the applicant's history and experience sufficient,

shall be examined by the superintendent of industrial compliance by a written examination

dealing with the construction, installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of

elevators and their appurtenances, and the applicant shall be accepted or rejected

on the merits of the applicant's application and examination. Except as provided in this section, the superintendent shall issue a certificate of

competency in the inspection of elevators to any applicant found competent upon examination.  A rejected applicant shall be entitled, after the expiration of ninety days and

upon payment of an examination fee to be established as provided in section 4105.17 of the Revised Code , to another examination.  Should an applicant fail to pass the prescribed examination on second trial, the

applicant will not be permitted to be an applicant for another examination for a period

of one year after the second examination. The superintendent shall issue a certificate of competency in the inspection of elevators

in accordance with Chapter 4796. of the Revised Code to an applicant if either of

the following applies: (A) The applicant holds a license or certificate in another state. (B) The applicant has satisfactory work experience, a government certification, or a

private certification as described in that chapter as an inspector of elevators in

a state that does not issue that license or certificate.
