147Q: Effect of disqualification

You could also call this:

“What happens if you're not allowed to do electrical work for a while”

If you are disqualified from doing or helping with certain electrical work, you can’t do that work or help with it during the time you’re disqualified.

When your disqualification period ends, you can do that electrical work again right away. This is unless there’s another reason you can’t do it, or if your permission to do the work has ended for some other reason.
