by this article shall be made by the company, corporation, copartnership
or owner-operator performing the welding or cutting operation, or
by his duly authorized agent.

manner. Demonstration of a working knowledge of the provisions of
this article shall constitute acceptable evidence of compliance with
this requirement.
D. Companies, corporations, copartnerships and owner-operators
required to have a certificate of compliance shall maintain a record
of all locations where welding or cutting operations are performed
and have it available for inspection by the Chief Fire Safety Inspector.
