§ 45-57. Inspections.

(a)

The LEMSA shall inspect, or cause to be inspected, every ambulance before it is placed into use and annually thereafter. The LEMSA may assign such inspection to a designee(s). The LEMSA shall direct such inspection and review the report, consult with the designee(s) and may order further inspection. Such inspections do not duplicate, and shall not be in lieu of, inspections performed or required by the California Highway Patrol.

(b)

After inspection, a written report shall be prepared indicating every violation or omission of any requirement, standard, or provision contained in the EMRO with respect to the ambulance inspected. The report shall set a time period for correction of each violation or omission. A copy of the report shall be given to the Provider of the service concerned.

(c)

In addition to the routine inspections required in subsection (a), the LEMSA and/or designee may, at any time and in his/their sole discretion, make non-routine inspections of any unit, station or substation regulated hereunder for the purposes of determining whether or not any aspect of the service subject to the EMRO is, or is not, in compliance with the EMRO. A written report shall be prepared pursuant to subsection (b).
