Building Code Administrators and Inspectors Florida Principle and Practice Licensure Practice Exam

According to FS 489 Part I, a secondary qualifying agent is responsible for __________.

1. all field work at all sites

2. all financial aspects of the business organization

3. all field work and financial aspects of the business organization

4. supervision of field work only where his/her license was used to obtain permits

The correct answer is: supervision of field work only where his/her license was used to obtain permits

In the context of FS 489 Part I, a secondary qualifying agent is designated to oversee the supervision of field work specifically related to the permits obtained using their license. This means that their responsibilities are limited to ensuring that the work conducted under those permits is in compliance with applicable codes and standards. The secondary qualifying agent is not responsible for all field work across all job sites or for managing financial aspects of the business organization. This focus on permit-related work underscores the importance of ensuring proper oversight and adherence to regulations, which is crucial in maintaining safety and compliance in construction activities. The role of the secondary qualifying agent thus provides a necessary level of oversight within the framework established for construction projects.
