It would be ideal when Reg 128/04 is altered to include the pending changes proposed on the Environmental Registry of Ontario, that the MECP look at the alignment of certification renewal dates for individuals that hold multiple certificates. Having all certificates held by an individual renew at the same time has many advantages, including:
- Eliminating the confusion currently experienced regarding which certificate renewal the education and training requirements must be submitted with.
- Creating efficiencies for all Operators and Operating Authorities as they only need to pull and become familiar with the details of the certificate holder’s file once every 3 years to make application for certificate renewal instead of each time a certificate nears expiry.
- Creating efficiencies in issuing payment for renewal fees as it needs to be done only once every three years rather than each time a certificate nears expiry.
- Creating efficiencies for OWWCO staff processing the applications as they will need to open and become familiar with the file of each operator only once every three years rather than each time a certificate nears expiry.
- Creating efficiencies in receiving and processing payment for renewal fees as it needs to be done only once every three years rather than each time a certificate nears expiry.
