About the EWRB
The Electrical Workers Registration Board is a statutory
body established in 1992. Members are appointed by, and
responsible to, the Minister of Energy. There are seven
members at any one time. Five are registered or entitled to be
registered under the Electricity Act and two are not
registered or entitled to be registered.
The Board's main functions are set out in section 149 of
the Electricity Act 1992. Its primary focus is to register
electrical workers and ensure the ongoing competency of those
workers, thereby ensuring the public's safety. In addition to
its occupational licensing function, the Board audits
electrical workers, holds disciplinary hearings and undertakes
the promotion of electrical safety and competency.
Income is entirely derived from electrical worker fees and
charges. No income comes from Government.
