Contractor's Corner The personality of the month is Nick du Plessis of P and T Technology in Wadeville. He is regarded by many in the electrical industry as a man of integrity, and his training centre is known as a centre of excellence that produces competent electricians. Columns In his column, Working Knowledge, Terry Mackenzie Hoy says that the best form of advertising for electrical contractors is 'word of mouth' and that satisfied clients will always refer contractors that have done an excellent job.
Lawrence Hillery's column, On the Job, suggests that 'brevity' should be applied to the Test document.
The Gauteng Electrical Inspection Authority's Mark Palmer is concerned about the use of non-compliant components being used in electrical installations. He untangles the Electrical Installation Regulations legislation for contractors and suggests that the National Regulator for Compulsory Standards (NRCS) establishes a forum with representation from the NRCS, manufacturers, consultants and Authorised Inspection Authorities (AIAs) to enforce legislation on behalf of the Department of Labour.
