I am not if you would be able to work at a grocery store chain or hotel chain doing electrical work just for the fact that those buildings are accessed by the general public. I know industrial is different because the building is not under normal operations accessed by the general public. Here if the plant manager feels that the broom pusher is competent to change out a 347V ballast, then legally that broom pusher can.
In responce to Thorahsparky.....I can't wait for the day that electrical materials will only be available to lisenced electricians. I am sure this issue is one that both contractors and electricians will agree on!!! I think that our market system is a little messed up when any DYI can go and buy any type of electrical equipment regardless of scope of work he will be performing and on the other end the general public needs a licence to buy hair dressing supplies such as hairspray and shampoo. Whats the deal with that??????
