Certifications and Inspections
To Inspect is to Carefully Examine.
Certification refers to the confirmation of certain characteristics of an object, person, or organization.
Johansson Engineering Ltd is a certification agency.
Some things don't change--like the obligation to work safely:
From the Alberta OH & S Code Part 3:
Following specifications
12 An employer must ensure that
(a) equipment is of sufficient size, strength, design and made of suitable materials to withstand stresses imposed on it during its operation and to perform the function for which it is intended or was designed,
(b) the rated capacity or other limitations on the operation of the equipment, or any part of it, or supplies as described in the manufacturer’s specifications or specifications certified by a professional engineer, are not exceeded,
(c) modifications to equipment that may affect its structural integrity or stability are performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications or specifications certified by a professional engineer, and
(d) equipment and supplies are erected, installed, assembled, started, operated, handled, stored, serviced, tested, adjusted, calibrated, maintained, repaired and dismantled in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications or the specifications certified by a professional engineer.
Manufacturer’s and professional engineer’s specifications
13(1) If this Code requires anything to be done in accordance with a manufacturer’s specifications, an employer may, instead of complying strictly with the manufacturer’s specifications, comply with modified specifications certified by a professional engineer.
(2) If this Code requires anything to be done in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications and they are not available or do not exist, an employer must
(a) develop and comply with procedures that are certified by a professional engineer as designed to ensure the thing is done in a safe manner, or
(b) have the equipment certified as safe to operate by a professional engineer at least every 12 calendar month.
Certification by a professional engineer

(a) be in writing, and
(b) be stamped and signed by the professional engineer.
