The Office of Public Safety and Inspections (OPSI) serves the building construction and design, recreational tramway and amusement industries, and a host of other construction-related communities. The OPSI mission is to promote safety in design, construction, installation, inspection, operation, repair and alteration of elevators, buildings, amusement and tramway devices and includes oversight of Massachusetts Building Code 780 CMR.
The Public Safety and Inspections office also oversees safe ingress and egress in all new and existing buildings for persons with physical disabilities through inspections, licensing, compliance, and regulation writing. OPSI licenses, certifies, registers or approves individuals in a wide variety of areas and approves continuing education programs for licensees.
