California ICC UST Inspector Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT required for a person performing a Monitoring System certification?

1. A tank tester or contractor license

2. A 40-hour OSHA Hazwoper Certificate

3. An equipment manufacturer certification

4. An ICC certification as California UST Service Technician

The correct answer is: A 40-hour OSHA Hazwoper Certificate

The correct option indicates that a 40-hour OSHA Hazwoper Certificate is not a requirement for a person performing a Monitoring System certification. While OSHA Hazwoper training is essential for workers involved in hazardous waste operations to ensure safety and compliance with federal regulations, it is not specifically mandated for individuals certifying monitoring systems related to underground storage tanks (USTs). In the context of UST systems, certifications typically focus on specialized knowledge and skills relevant to the standards for monitoring and environmental safety specific to tank operations. Such certifications often require expertise in the operation, maintenance, and safety protocols related to UST monitoring systems. Conversely, having a tank tester or contractor license, an equipment manufacturer certification, and an ICC certification as a California UST Service Technician are all pivotal qualifications that demonstrate a person’s competence and adherence to industry standards when evaluating or certifying monitoring systems. These credentials ensure that the individual possesses the necessary technical knowledge and experience required for proper system evaluation and compliance with regulatory requirements.
