1.5.1 Criteria for determining persons qualifying for the classification Electrician Special Class:

1.5.1(a) The work

[Appx B:1.4.1(a) renumbered as 1.5.1(a) by Q9130 ppc 30Jun98]

1.5.1(a)(i) Does the work involve work of complex circuitry? In the event of disagreement, the work is to be inspected. In determining whether it is complex, a realistic common sense attitude is to be adopted. As a prima facie test, look to whether the work involves:

1.5.1(a)(ii) The servicing, maintenance and installation of industrial electronic devices or:

experimental or prototype work,
design or supervision of complex circuitry, or
testing to a standard beyond tests covered by S.A.A. Wiring Rules Part 1.

1.5.1(a)(iii) The classification shall not apply to Electrical Mechanics employed only in the connection to power terminals of equipment.

1.5.1(b) The person

[Appx B:1.4.1(b) renumbered as 1.5.1(b) by Q9130 ppc 30Jun98]

1.5.1(b)(i) Is the employee an Electrical Fitter or Electrical Mechanic? An affirmative answer to this question depends on whether the employee has completed an apprenticeship or if holding a tradesperson's rights certificate.

1.5.1(b)(ii) Has the employee worked as a tradesperson on complex work as defined above, for at least two years, appreciated that the first two years after apprenticeship may have a lower content of work on complex work as the employee is still learning? This is not to prejudice the person unless the work level is so low that the employee is not in the course of being qualified for classification thereby.

1.5.1(b)(iii) Has the employee done a relevant formal post trades course? An affirmative answer points towards the classification but a negative answer is not to prejudice the person in any way.

1.5.1(b)(iv) Is it an integral part of the job requirement that the employee be employed as an Electrician Special Class for the purpose of attending to work as defined above?

1.5.1(b)(v) Does the work require additional knowledge in excess of that gained by the satisfactory completion of the appropriate technical college trades course? Look objectively at all the facts. Examples could be on the job training, advertisements, level of supervision, range of work performed as set out above.

1.5.1(b)(vi) Has the employee the ability to work as defined above without supervision? This relates to factual supervision.

1.5.1(b)(vii) In demonstrating the fact that the employee has additional knowledge, does the employee show that the employee is special class within the framework of industry? In applying this test, when looking at the employee’s ability to diagnose and modify if necessary, do not confine the examination to the least complex of the most complex areas of equipment but adopt an industry standard.

[Appx B:1.4.1(c) renumbered as 1.5.1(c) by Q9130 ppc 30Jun98]

1.5.1(c) All the questions relevant to the person must be answered in the affirmative except question 1.5.1(b)(iii) hereof to establish a claim to the classification subject to the operational requirements of the establishment.
