the use of hand and power tools and test equipment.1 }1 L3 T0 C5 g- ?
All electrical wiring and installations must conform to the CSA Canadian Electrical Code.- X) m( M, t" O( k

On small jobs, construction electricians may work alone with minimal supervision, and they% Z6 o% `" m. }- m' o
may supervise an apprentice. On large jobs, they may work under the direction of a supervisor.

construction tradespeople, such as carpenters, lathers, cabinetmakers, plumbers, and heating, ventilation
