What is required for an individual to install or service fire extinguishers as an apprentice?

To install or service fire extinguishers as an apprentice, an individual is required to have an apprentice permit issued by the department. This permit demonstrates that the individual is recognized as an apprentice and is permitted to work under the supervision of a qualified professional. The purpose of the permit is to ensure that apprentices are gaining practical experience and knowledge in a structured environment while adhering to regulations and safety standards established by the authority having jurisdiction.

Other avenues, such as obtaining a temporary license from the state or having experience in related fields, are not sufficient as they do not formally recognize the individual as an apprentice working under specific guidelines. A certification from a testing service pertains to qualifications rather than the initial status needed to start working as an apprentice. The apprentice permit specifically provides the legal framework and guidance necessary for someone new to the field to develop their skills adequately.
