While the BC Safety Authority primarily performs inspections on work requiring permits, Safety Officers may also inspect any installation that involves electrical work or electrical equipment. These can include any commercial, industrial or residential premises.
Field Safety Representatives are primarily responsible for performing inspections on work completed by licensed contractors.
If you are the permit holder and your Safety Officer has identified an aspect of your work that does not comply with the regulations, you must correct the issue and notify the Safety Officer.
Electrical homeowner permit holders must request a Safety Officer to inspect electrical work before any wiring is concealed or connected to a supply. The completed electrical work must also pass the final inspection by a Safety Officer.
