1. The inspection required by this chapter shall not be made by the commissioner if an owner or user of equipment specified by this chapter obtains an inspection by a representative of a reputable insurance company and obtains a policy of insurance upon the equipment from that insurance company. The representative conducting the inspection shall be commissioned by the commissioner as a special inspector for the year during which the inspection occurs and shall meet such other requirements as the commissioner may by rule establish. The commission shall be valid for one year and the special inspector shall pay a fee for the issuance of the commission. The commissioner shall establish the amount of the fee by rule. The commissioner shall establish rules for the issuance and revocation of special inspector commissions. The rules are subject to the requirements of chapter 17A.
2. The insurance company shall file a certificate of inspection on forms approved by the commissioner stating that the equipment is insured and that inspection shall be made in accordance with section 89.3.
3. Upon such showing and the payment of a fee, the commissioner shall issue a certificate of inspection by the division of labor services, which shall be valid only for the period specified in section 89.3. The commissioner shall establish the amount of the fee by rule.
4. The special inspector shall notify the user and the commissioner of any equipment or appurtenance found to be unsafe or unfit for operation in writing, setting forth the nature and extent of such defects and condition. The commissioner shall indicate to the user whether or not the equipment may be used without making repair or replacement of defective parts, or whether or how the equipment may be used in a limited capacity before repairs or replacements are made, and the commissioner may permit the user a reasonable time to make such repairs or replacements. The failure of a special inspector to inform the commissioner of violations shall not subject the commissioner to liability for any damages incurred.
