23 Exemption relating to the doing of electrical wiring work by apprentices and trainees

An individual who does electrical wiring work without complying with section 14 (2) of the Act is exempt from the requirement of holding an authority referred to in section 14 (1) of the Act if:

(b) the course of studies undertaken as part of the individual’s apprenticeship or traineeship includes a study of the kind of electrical wiring work the individual is doing, and

(c) a qualified supervisor (being the holder of an endorsed contractor licence, or a supervisor certificate, authorising its holder to do that work) supervises the electrical wiring work being done by that individual, and

(d) the qualified supervisor is of the opinion that the individual’s knowledge and experience in doing such electrical wiring work is such that the individual does not need the level of supervision required by section 14 (2) of the Act, and

(e) the individual does that work under the supervision, and in accordance with the directions, if any, of the qualified supervisor.
