The Electrical Safety Acts, and other relevant legislation, require the person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) to exercise due diligence to meet their primary duty of care. The Silver Master Electrician assessment is designed to help you prove that you’ve taken these steps and run an electrical contracting business with best practices.
The Silver Master Electrician assessment includes six (6) sections:
- Standards and Regulations
- Policies
