7.2. The Commission shall renew, upon application, an occupation competency certificate which could not be renewed under section 7 or section 7.1, for a person not covered by section 4, where the holder of the expired certificate has successfully completed a safety course required by the Safety Code for the construction industry (chapter S-2.1, r. 4) and provided that an employer registered with the Commission files a workforce request, guarantees that person employment for not less than 150 hours over a period not exceeding 3 months, and furnishes proof of such guarantee to the Commission. The application may be filed not later than 8 months after the certificate expires.
An occupation competency certificate renewed in this manner shall bear an expiry date corresponding to the last day of the fourth full month following that of the renewal and it shall include the name of the employer who has furnished the guarantee of employment. It shall be replaced by a certificate which expires 1 year after that replacement where the Commission ascertains, in the employer’s monthly reports, that the employee has worked the 150 hours corresponding to the guarantee.
