Keep endorsements visible during renewal
Collect the annual course evidence and check whether the plumber’s work also depends on an endorsement. A renewal of the base record should prompt a review of the documents associated with medical gas or another specialty. For a worker holding both master and journeyman credentials, reconcile the payment evidence with the board’s fee exception instead of requesting duplicate payments.
This is a suggested internal renewal workflow; it does not extend the authority’s deadline.
Employer compliance considerations
For each crew, retain a clear reference to the Responsible Master Plumber and the journeyman’s individual record. When a plumbing employee changes projects, check whether the planned duties involve a specialty endorsement. Keeping these items separate makes a crew review more informative than a folder of undifferentiated plumbing cards.
