What must representatives of the building safety department carry while inspecting structures?

Building codes
Technical manuals
Proper identification
Construction plans

The correct answer is: Proper identification

Representatives of the building safety department must carry proper identification while inspecting structures to ensure they are recognized as authorized personnel. This identification serves multiple purposes: it establishes their credentials, allows them to access various sites legally, and helps maintain the security and integrity of the building inspection process. It assures property owners, contractors, and other stakeholders that the inspector is a qualified representative of the authority having jurisdiction. While building codes, technical manuals, and construction plans are essential tools for inspectors and may be used during the inspection process, they do not replace the requirement of having proper identification. Identification is a fundamental aspect that ensures public trust and compliance with legal standards during inspections.
