What is the penalty when an electrician is found working without a valid certification?
According to our Regulations 294.0 – any person who displays a certificate, or otherwise claims to be certified, who is not certified shall be prohibited from taking the test for certification for a period of seven (7) years. If there is fraud – The Chief DAS may for good cause suspend or revoke the person’s certification if the person has committed gross negligence or fraud, or engaged in repeated acts of negligence during the performance of activities subject to the certification or if the person obtained certification through mistake, misrepresentation or fraud. – Regs. 293.0(b).
