Electrical licensing act aims to curb unsafe installations
The Electrical Contractors and Electricians Licensing Act places responsibility on license holders to ensure safe electrical work. Licensed electricians must work as employees of contractors or face liability if standards drop. Apprentices may be exempted from exams after completing training as the act seeks to minimize electrical hazards. A Gloucester Electric Supply Co inspector warned against tampering with mains after a carpenter caused a near catastrophe, and legal action will follow any future interference. D. I. McDonald will visit the Commercial Hotel on March 7 to offer eye tests.
