Bridge Safety Inspection

This certification program was designed for engineering technicians engaged in the inspection of existing bridges in order to determine their physical condition, maintenance needs, and potential hazards. (This program is not designed for technicians engaged in the construction inspection of new bridges.) The program tests knowledge of the physical sciences, the materials and structural elements of common and special bridges, and the analysis, rating, and reporting of bridge inspection results.

Bridge Safety Inspection comprises four levels of certification. Level I is designed for trainees and entry-level technicians who perform limited job tasks under frequent supervision, Level II is for technicians who perform routine tasks under general daily supervision, Level III is for intermediate-level technicians who, under little or no daily supervision, work with standards, plans, specifications, and instructions, and Level IV is for independent, senior-level technicians whose work includes supervising others. Certification at Levels II, III, and IV does not require prior certification at the lower level, but it does require meeting the certification requirements of the lower levels.
