EEHA can be dangerous

"The tank may be empty" There may be no liquid inside. But if the tank has not been confirmed gas-free, the remaining product vapors can still create a highly explosive atmosphere. This is one of the most dangerous assumptions made in industry: believing that "empty" means "safe." It doesn't. An emp...

Today as President of NZEIA and along with ME Master Electricians, we are going to give an oral submission to the RRC Regulatory Review Committee regarding the electrical licensing endorsements from the EWRB and MBIE. These endorsements are not what industry asked for and initially consulted on, as add-ons to your electrical license, backed up by continuous professional development, i.e. do the course, be deemed competent and then do yearly online training to update your skills.
Instead the new endorsements are 41 new classes of license, all requiring a fee, a course along with minimal training, assessment and competency guidelines from our regulator.
NZEIA welcomes competency training and we see this as a necessary step towards keeeping up with technology, but adding more cost and bureaucracy to an already overwhelmed electrical industry is not clear and progressive legislative guidance.
It’s time our leaders in government listen to industry and the trades it serves.
