Registration and licensing of electrical workers and employer licences - Register of electrical workers

128: Matters to be contained in register

You could also call this:

“What important information about electrical workers is kept in a special list?”

The register must contain important information about registered electrical workers, provisional licence holders, and employer licence holders. For registered people, this includes their name, contact details, and information about their registration and practising licence. The register shows what type of work they can do, when they were first registered, if their licence is current, when it expires, and any restrictions or conditions on their registration or licence.

The register also keeps track of any disciplinary actions taken against a person in the last three years. It notes if someone’s registration or licence has been suspended or cancelled, and why.

For provisional licence holders and employer licence holders, the register includes similar information about their licences, such as when they got it, how long it lasts, and any limitations or conditions.

For companies with employer licences, the register includes the name of a contact person and the company’s registration number.

The register keeps this information even for people who are no longer registered or licensed. The person in charge of the register can add other information they think is important.

In this context, a ‘disciplinary matter’ means looking into or deciding on a complaint about someone’s conduct.
