OFFICE DESIGNS

There are hundreds of occupations in the world, few of which anyone would want to do. Being an electrician is one of them. The electrician keeps the lighting, the electrical system around a building, and the generator running. Being an electrician can also be dangerous. You can die if you get electrocuted by touching live wires.


The electrician works indoors and outdoors on construction sites, in businesses, factories or homes. Working as an electrician means bending pipes, standing for a long time, and heavy lifting. The electrician can also be injured by electric shocks, falls and cuts. This is why electricians have strict guidelines that must be followed. When working outdoors, electricians face harsh weather conditions depending on where they work.

Electricians are trained to one of three levels: Apprentice, Journeyperson, and Master Electrician. In the US and Canada, apprentices work and receive a reduced compensation while learning their trade. They generally take several hundred hours of classroom instruction and are contracted to follow apprenticeship standards for a period of between three and six years, during which time they are paid as a percentage of the Journeyperson’s pay. Journeymen are electricians who have completed their Apprenticeship and who have been found by the local, State, or National licensing body to be competent in the electrical trade. Master Electricians have performed well in the trade for a period of time, often seven to ten years, and have passed an exam to demonstrate superior knowledge of the National Electrical Code, or NEC.
