yes they constitute a good part of my biz also, no i do not nor will i ever advocate these sorts doing electrical work for a living.
however, the powers that be sadly thru complacency do, after all what are 300+- electrical deaths compared to 50,000 anual roadway deaths right?
OSHA is the only orginization that i know of that addresses 'qualified' (see art 100)having it's base rationale be PPE knowledge.
This is about the only 'benchmark' that comes to mind, allbeit under the same dictation i would be 'qualified' to do brain surgery having knowledge of the PPE involved.
perhaps i should get a biz card??
