tion.

ards this implies, and who possess the qualifications their work requires. To

1) to be trained, instructed or authorized to switch electric circuits and devices
safely on and off, to ground them and to mark them
2) to be trained or instructed to maintain and use adequate safety equipment
3) to attend a course of instruction in first aid
