Section 111.60  Delegation of Authority

OSFM will issue a notice delegating authority to inspect public school buildings to candidates that meet the requirements of Section 111.30 and submit an application meeting the requirements of Section 111.50.  The OSFM Delegation of Authority issued pursuant to this Section is valid until there is a change in status of the individual approved as a Qualified Fire Official by OSFM or OSFM withdraws the Delegation of Authority.  Although OSFM may delegate school inspection authority to a Qualified Fire Official, nothing shall be construed to limit, condition or impair the exercise of OSFM's powers to administer fire safety inspections of public schools.  OSFM reserves the right to act on its own initiative in all matters pertaining to public school fire safety inspections.  The issuance of a Delegation of Authority to a Qualified Fire Official shall not be construed as a contract with that individual, and OSFM reserves the right to withdraw that Delegation of Authority.
