I currently work as a maintenence electrician at a local open pit mine, but I will soon have met all of the requirements to perform electrical work as a contractor. One of the reasons that I am doing this is to challenge myself, to see if I am really capable of succeeding on my own. Another reason, and perhaps the main reason, is that I like the work that we do. It is challenging both mentally and physically, and I have grown to enjoy it. My biggest concern is causing injury to someone by making a mistake, or faulty installation. This is why I believe that electrical work can't and shouldn't be rushed, lives are at stake. Has anyone else had this fear of the trade?
