Oregon Construction Contractors (CCB) Practice Test

Who is responsible for scheduling and managing work inspections on a job site?

1. Project manager

2. Contractor

3. Site supervisor

4. Safety officer

The correct answer is: Contractor

The contractor is responsible for scheduling and managing work inspections on a job site. This role involves coordinating inspections to ensure that the work meets code requirements and project specifications. The contractor must communicate with inspectors, arrange for the timing of inspections, and ensure that the work is ready for evaluation when scheduled. While other roles may play a part in the inspection process, such as the project manager overseeing the entire project or the site supervisor managing daily operations, it is ultimately the contractor who is accountable for ensuring that all inspections happen as required by local building codes and regulations. The safety officer, while crucial for maintaining safety standards, does not handle the scheduling of inspections. Their focus is primarily on safety compliance rather than inspection logistics. Thus, the contractor's responsibility in this aspect is key to the successful completion of the project.
