      History

      This name, used for the Board of Examiners of Operating Engineers, first appears around 1966 as a branch under the Safety and Technical Service Division. In 1969, the Board (which continued to exist following the appearance of the branch) became responsible only for the examination of engineers, and the inspections become the duty of the branch. In April 1972, this branch was transferred to the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations.
