This Act has a few main purposes. You will be protected from health and safety risks when people do sanitary plumbing, gasfitting, and drainlaying work. This is because the Act ensures these workers are competent. The Act also regulates people who do this type of work. It appoints and regulates certification authorities, which are groups that check if workers are competent, as seen in section 44 of another part of the law.
