Division 283 - ELECTRICAL TRAINING PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Section 918-283-0130 - Responsibilities of the Employer

(1) The employer shall register all trainees with the division and make annual trainee progress reports on division forms. No later than at the end of five years, the employer shall notify the division and the trainee of trainee's eligibility to take the examination.

(2) The division shall furnish each registered trainee in an approved program an identification card semi-annually. The identification card, signed by the Chief Electrical Inspector, shall be mailed to the employer. The employer and the trainee shall sign the card. The trainee shall keep the card in trainee's possession while a registered trainee. The identification card serves as the trainee's license, permitting the trainee to perform appropriate electrical work while in training and under the direct supervision of a properly licensed journeyman or supervising electrician on the same shift at the same plant. If the trainee is terminated or removed from the training program, the employer shall return the identification card to the division or notify the division in writing.

(3) The identification card shall be furnished free until the trainee passes the examination or for the maximum period allowed to complete training. If the trainee fails the examination after completion of the maximum training period, trainee's license shall be renewed for not more than two six-month periods of training, and the trainee shall be given one opportunity during each period to pass the examination. If the trainee fails to pass the last examination, trainee's name shall be removed from the employer's training program, the trainee license shall be canceled, and the employer shall cease to employ the trainee on any electrical work for which trainee does not have a license.
