If you have trainees or low-skilled electrical workers working for you or under your control and direction then you are supervising. This places you, as the supervisor and the person you are supervising under some legal requirements as set out under the Electricity Act and the Electrical Safety Regulations.

In May 2016 the EWRB published 2 documents:

• Supervision of Persons who are not Limited Certificate Holders (B-PO-05A)

• Supervision of Trainees Holding a Limited Certificate  (B-PO-05)

All registered electrical workers who supervise others must have these documents on file and read to ensure compliance with both regulations and Health & Safety at Work Act 2015.
