Electricians may work in workshops, private homes, shopping centers or manufacturers' factories. They may have a considerable amount of contact with the public. They may work in confined spaces and have to stand for long periods. They may also be required to work at heights on roofs, towers and masts.
Electricians may install insulated cables and connect switches, outlets and other fittings; connect circuit breakers, transformers, motors, heaters and other electrical equipment; and install electrical equipment such as storage heaters, water heaters, electric signs, switchboards, motors and other electrical equipment. Electricians must be aware of safety regulations and must often wear and use supplied protective equipment to minimize risks.
