When are permits issued on projects requiring Project Managers considered valid?

Permits issued for projects requiring Project Managers are considered valid when they are signed by the project manager. This is crucial because the signature indicates that the project manager has reviewed the project details and is taking responsibility for the compliance with asbestos regulations throughout the project. The signing of the permit serves as an official acknowledgment that all necessary protocols and safety measures are understood and will be adhered to.

The other potential answers do not accurately capture the point at which a permit becomes valid. Submission of the application itself does not imply that the application has been reviewed or approved. A site inspection might be part of the process for assessing compliance, but it does not finalize the permit’s validity. Lastly, stating that permits are valid only at the completion of the project misconstrues the purpose of a permit, which is meant to govern activities starting from the approval process through to the execution of the project.
