Which entity issues the Certificate of Fitness for welding and cutting?

The Certificate of Fitness for welding and cutting is issued by the Fire Marshal. This is because welding and cutting operations can pose significant fire hazards due to the use of open flames and the generation of sparks. The Fire Marshal is responsible for ensuring that these operations are conducted safely and in compliance with fire safety regulations. They evaluate the training and qualifications of individuals performing these tasks to minimize risks and prevent accidents.

The other entities listed typically focus on different areas of public safety and health. The local government may have regulations in place but usually defers to the Fire Marshal for certification related to fire safety. The Health Department deals primarily with health-related issues and does not typically have a role in issuing fitness certificates for welding and cutting. The safety board could be involved in setting safety standards but does not directly issue certification for these specific activities.
