Who typically does not hold the "authority having jurisdiction" for safety regulations?

The local city manager or mayor typically does not hold the "authority having jurisdiction" for safety regulations. This authority is usually vested in specific individuals or agencies that have been designated to enforce safety codes and regulations. The building inspector, fire marshal, and safety committee all play direct roles in the oversight and enforcement of safety regulations within their respective jurisdictions.

The building inspector is responsible for ensuring that construction and renovation projects comply with local building codes, while the fire marshal enforces fire safety regulations. Similarly, safety committees are tasked with assessing workplace safety conditions and ensuring compliance with relevant safety protocols.

In contrast, the local city manager or mayor may have broader administrative and governance responsibilities but do not typically engage in the technical enforcement of safety regulations. Their role is more focused on overall city management rather than the specific implementation and enforcement of safety codes. Hence, they are not considered the authority having jurisdiction in matters of safety regulations.
