  
1. EditorialIn this edition of ELECTRON the emphasis has been placed on the results of complaints hearings conducted by the Board. In the future complaints hearing reporting will have a more educational role and details will be provided to assist registered people in meeting their obligations in relation to the legislative requirements. In the January 2004 issue of ELECTRON details of a new agreement with Site Safe were provided. Since that time a new safety refresher course has been developed by Site Safe and the Electrical Training Company. The course satisfies the overall outcome objectives of the electricians/electrical inspectors practising licence requirements and the requirements for access to sites covered by Site Safe Passports. An application form for the course accompanies this issue of ELECTRON and people using the form to demonstrate prerequisite training, including CPR and first aid, for practising licences are entitled to expect a rapid turnaround time for the issue of licences. People who opt to undertake parts of the prerequisite practising licence/Site Safe training separately must ensure all information is provided to ensure that any delay in issuing licences is minimised. People who undertake other practising licence training courses being offered by other providers must ensure details of all training are provided when an application for a practising licence is made. This will also ensure that practising licences are issued promptly.
