What is the purpose of the TSSA Fuel Safety inspector's order?

The purpose of the TSSA Fuel Safety inspector's order is to enforce compliance under the Technical Standards and Safety Act. This act is designed to ensure that gas appliances, systems, and installations comply with established safety standards to protect the public from potential hazards associated with gas usage. An inspector's order serves as a formal directive that mandates action to rectify any non-compliance issues found during inspections, thereby ensuring safety standards are maintained consistently across the industry. This not only addresses immediate concerns but also reinforces the overall regulatory framework that governs gas safety, which is essential for protecting both consumers and the environment.

While informing about safety regulations, approving installations, and inspecting structural safety are important aspects of general safety practices, they do not encapsulate the primary function of an inspector's order, which focuses specifically on enforcing compliance and overseeing adherence to regulatory requirements.
