Summary:
The Respondent carried out prescribed electrical work (PEW) in a non-compliant manner and provided false or misleading certification. He accepted the disciplinary charges and cooperated. The conduct was not serious enough to find that he had carried out PEW in a negligent manner.
As such, the Board made a finding that the Respondent had carried out PEW in a manner that was contrary to an enactment, as well as finding that he had provided a false or misleading return. The Board imposed a fine of $400 and ordered that he pay costs of $225. A record of the disciplinary offending will be recorded on the public Register for a period of 3 years.
