SCOPE OF THE CONSTRUCTION ELECTRICIAN OCCUPATION7 ]1 x3 m9 T( D, @) k- z
The title “construction electrician” defines a person who, because of his or her knowledge,

systems, which provides light, heat, communications, and power to a variety of new and existing

7 _' @& k1 B" @5 [6 }Construction electricians read and interpret electrical, mechanical, and architectural drawings1 ~, p" A9 [* f, F
and electrical code specifications to determine wiring layout. They cut, thread, bend, assemble, and

scaffolding at great heights. Hazards include electric shocks, burns, and falling objects.7 N; ^2 Y# u/ c% ?, J- U
Construction electricians are required to have good mechanical ability, a thorough8 a5 ]0 F$ x9 s9 I- s
knowledge of the principles of electricity, circuitry, and power distribution systems, and familiarity with1 u2 G9 X8 y- ]% t( K8 m& u: C. R
the materials and techniques of construction. All construction electricians are required to be competent in$ Y( n4 A5 k) y9 m; W8 Y: T
the use of hand and power tools and test equipment.

Therefore construction electricians must be thoroughly familiar with the latest issue of this document.( H* D6 r4 i! ~# J- D
For safety, permits and other regulations they follow local electrical, building and safety codes.

Construction electricians interact and work co-operatively with the full spectrum of8 [( M. g' j: {8 S; q) v/ G+ w
construction tradespeople, such as carpenters, lathers, cabinetmakers, plumbers, and heating, ventilation0 [- e9 }6 ?3 D; S
and air-conditioning technicians. They are required to constantly adjust their schedule and work to3 \8 j. i; D7 A* L9 y( e6 p
