FACTS !


Do not understand information required for a VALID C.o.C

Have never witnessed the required test conducted by acontractor, to validate the results !

Has never seen the new C.o.C format (six page)

Never read or understands the new EIR or the SANS 10142-1 Code

Their responsibility is un-known i.t.o the new regulation(especially in the electrical field)

Has never attended any training in this field (or practical's)

the required tests Never read or understand the new EIR or the SANS 10142-1 Code Doesn’t know their responsibility i.t.o the new regulations

What image does the MIE project in industries

Where should the focus be = technical qualification orpractical ability


SUMMARYSUMMARY


CONCLUSIONUnderstand the legal requirements and adhere to it, as

soon as possible. (Ensure all required systems in place)

Conduct detailed RISK ASSESSMENT’s to ID areas ofconcern, and classify accordingly

Compile all proof of compliance documentation (meetings,plant walkdowns, inspections, reports, audits etc.)

Train, appoint and equip competent staff

Ensure full compliance by having valid C.o.C’s for all points ofcontrol (Db’s) for normal and specialized electrical installations.

Appoint effective competent people to maintain YOUR plants

Maintain your legal compliance responsibly. . . .
