Who is responsible for conducting the inspection of the CO2 system?

The responsibility for conducting the inspection of the CO2 system typically falls to the building representative. This individual is usually familiar with the specific operational and safety requirements of the facility and understands the proper protocols for inspection. The building representative’s role encompasses ensuring that all safety systems, including the CO2 system, are functioning effectively and comply with regulated standards.

While a licensed contractor may have the expertise to perform the inspection, it is not solely their responsibility unless specified in contractual agreements or state regulations. Government officials generally conduct inspections for compliance purposes rather than regular system checks. Allowing any employee on-site to conduct the inspection could introduce risks, as they may lack the necessary training or knowledge required to evaluate the system accurately.

Thus, the building representative is seen as the most appropriate choice for conducting routine inspections of the CO2 system, maintaining safety and compliance in the facility.
