Issue 15 of ELECTRON contained an announcement on the Government decision relating to
changes to agencies aimed at improving and
streamlining building and housing services to
the public.
One change announced was that the Electrical Workers Licensing Group would move from
the Ministry of Economic Development to the
Department of Building and Housing.
On 1 September 2006 the move takes place and a
news release on the move appears in this issue of
ELECTRON.
The second series of reported accidents to registered
electrical workers and trainees commences in this

for practising licences.
Details of the Board’s
