ABSTRACT

This chapter identifies the members of the construction team, the members of the electrical team and explores statutory legislation and guidance information used in the electrical industry. It shows how to communicate with others in the workplace, technical information used in the workplace and outlines the purpose of on site information. Technical information is communicated to electrical personnel in lots of different ways. Any electrotechnical organization is made up of a group of individuals with various duties, all working together for their own good, the good of their employer and their customers. Electrical contractors install equipment and systems in new buildings. Once a building is fully operational, the electrical contractor may provide a maintenance service to that client or customer or alternatively the client may employ an ‘in-house’ electrician to maintain the installed electrical equipment. A wiring diagram or connection diagram shows the detailed connections between components or items of equipment.
