and electrical code specifications to determine wiring layout. They cut, thread, bend, assemble, and

Construction electricians work in the full range of environmental conditions: from outside in

climbing, pulling, and reaching and may be conducted in cramped, confined spaces or on ladders and

the materials and techniques of construction. All construction electricians are required to be competent in$ g. H1 \: S1 t9 f8 @9 I" `
the use of hand and power tools and test equipment.5 C8 u7 Y- d) U% f, U3 M- g
All electrical wiring and installations must conform to the CSA Canadian Electrical Code.

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