What protection do authorized employees have when enforcing this code in good faith?

Authorized employees enforcing the International Mechanical Code in good faith are protected by liability protections provided under the law. This means that if these employees are acting within the scope of their authority and in accordance with the code while performing their duties, they are granted legal protection against personal liability for their actions. This is essential as it encourages employees to enforce the code without fear of repercussions, fostering a safer environment and upholding the integrity of the code.

Other options such as immunity from fines or exemption from rules do not accurately capture the essence of the protection granted to employees; these could allow individuals to escape consequences for non-compliance or misconduct, which is not the intent of the protections in place. Federal protection, while providing a safety net in some circumstances, does not specifically pertain to the local enforcement of building codes as outlined by the International Mechanical Code.
