Section 25-9-15

Certificate of competency for fire bosses and mine foremen — Suspension, cancellation or revocation.

(a) The board is hereby authorized to issue an official written reprimand of any person certified under this chapter as a disciplinary measure for a first violation of any requirement hereof.

(b) In addition, for any subsequent violation or for any serious first violation, the certificate of any person may be cancelled or revoked by the board of examiners, whenever it shall be established to the satisfaction of said board that the holder thereof has become unworthy of official endorsement by reason of violation of this chapter, intemperate habits, manifest incapacity, abuse of authority or for other causes satisfactory to said board. Any person against whom charges are made shall have an opportunity to be heard in his own behalf. He shall have at least 30 days' notice in writing of such charges by the ex officio chairman, and, if the holder of a certificate is convicted on the hearing of such charge of violating any part of this chapter, his certificate shall be revoked by the board. The director, after a thorough investigation, may suspend such holder pending a meeting of the board of examiners and its final action.
