Wow is it ever different in the USA! In Ontario, Canada the Occupational Health and Safety Act states:
182.(1)No worker shall connect, maintain or modify electrical equipment or installations unless,
(a)the worker is an electrician under the Trades Qualification and apprenticeship Act or,
(b)the worker is otherwise permitted to connect, maintain or modify electrical equipment or installations under the Trades Quallification and Apprenticeship Act.
(2)A worker who does not meet the requirements of clause (1)(a)or (b) may insert an attachment plug cap on the cord of electrical equipment or an electrical tool into, or remove it from, a convenience receptacle.
Basically if your not registered as an apprentice all you can do is plug something in or out!!
