§1281.5. Operator certificates; display; renewal; revocation; termination
A. The state health officer shall issue certificates attesting to the competency of operators based on the recommendations of the committee of certification. The certificate shall indicate the classification of works which the operator is qualified to supervise.
B. Certificates shall be prominently displayed in the office of the operator.
C. Certificates shall continue in effect as long as renewal fees are paid and minimum standards maintained, unless suspended or revoked by the state health officer upon due notice and after hearing by and upon recommendation of the committee.
D. The state health officer may revoke the certificate of an operator, following a hearing by and upon recommendation of the committee when it is found that the operator has practiced fraud, or deception; that reasonable care, judgment or the application of his knowledge or ability was not used in the performance of his duties; or that the operator is incompetent or unable properly to perform his duties.
E. The certificates of operators who terminate their employment at a treatment plant or water distribution system will remain valid for two years. After two years, the certificate will be automatically invalidated. Operators whose certificates are invalidated under this section may be issued new certificates of a like classification provided appropriate proof of competency is presented to the committee. Successful completion of an examination may be required at the discretion of the committee.
