Where must a Certificate of Fitness Holder keep their certificate during operations?

A Certificate of Fitness Holder is required to keep their certificate on their person during operations to ensure that it is readily available for inspection. This practice helps to verify that the individual operating the torch has the necessary qualifications and training, which is crucial for maintaining safety and compliance with regulations. Keeping the certificate on their person allows for immediate access, should an inspector or a supervising authority request proof of certification during ongoing work.

Other locations, like a secured location, in a vehicle, or on a designated clipboard do not ensure that the certificate is immediately accessible and visible during operations, potentially compromising safety protocols and regulatory compliance. Always having the certification on hand affirms the holder's preparedness and adherence to the requirements set forth for torch operations.
