A Professional Guide for Newly Licensed Electrical Inspectors

Derrick Rochester Vocational Training Centre

Scene 2

Electrical inspection ensures safety, reliability, and compliance in Jamaica's regulatory framework

Inspectors verify installations meet local standards and requirements

Requires engineering judgment and knowledge of local standards

Goal: Equip inspectors with competence, confidence, and professionalism

Electrical inspection operates under the Electricity Act of Jamaica, Government Electrical Regulator (GER) standards, and Bureau of Standards Jamaica (BSJ) guidelines.

Scene 3

Primary legislation governing electrical safety and inspection in Jamaica

Responsible for licensing electrical inspectors and ensuring compliance with regulations

Sets and maintains national standards for electrical installations and safety

Oversees utility companies and ensures proper electrical service standards

Provides grid connection services and requires approval for electrical installations

National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA)

Ensures electrical installations comply with environmental regulations

Legislation ensuring safe electrical practices in workplaces and installations

Scene 4

Verify documentation and prepare for site visit

Initial site evaluation and hazard identification

Detailed inspection of workmanship and materials

Electrical testing and verification of systems

Compliance assessment and certification issuance

The inspection process follows a structured methodology from pre-inspection planning through final certification. Each phase builds upon the previous one to ensure comprehensive evaluation and safety compliance.

Scene 5

Scene 6

Professional introduction, readiness verification, hazard identification

Workmanship quality, materials used, labeling accuracy, protection mechanisms

Conductor sizing, insulation condition, terminations, color coding

Isolators, breakers, labeling, damage assessment

Electrodes, continuity, bonding, resistance testing

Scene 7

Verify complete electrical path for fault current

Check insulation integrity with megohmmeter

Ensure correct phase connection and polarity

Earth Electrode and Loop Impedance Testing

Measure earth resistance and loop impedance

Verify residual current device functionality

Record all results using calibrated instruments to ensure accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards.

Scene 8

Installation Completion Certificate (ICC)

Scene 9

Prepare detailed report with test results and photos

Maintain comprehensive records for inspection history

Apply professional judgment in all assessments

Prioritize public safety in all judgments

Maintain accuracy in all reports and findings

Exercise integrity in professional relationships

Stay current with electrical standards and regulations

Continuous learning to maintain competence

Share knowledge to improve industry standards

Professional conduct requires maintaining independence, applying judgment, and prioritizing safety in all inspection activities.

Scene 10

Key verification requirements for electrical inspection:

Verify GER license and electrician/TEA registration

Check installation matches drawings and permits obtained

Ensure safe access, PPE worn, no exposed live conductors

Administrative compliance is the foundation of safe electrical inspection.

Scene 11

Verify correct conductor sizing and insulation type

Ensure cables are supported and protected from damage

Verify rated isolators and breakers match system requirements

Ensure all components are properly labeled for identification and safety

Proper wiring and distribution is critical to safety and system reliability. Always verify compliance with local standards.

Scene 12

Adequate overcurrent and short-circuit protection

All protection devices must be properly coordinated and tested according to BSJ standards. Earth continuity and resistance measurements must be recorded.

Scene 13

Polarity verified (correct phase connection)

Grid-tie and off-grid system requirements

Scene 14

All test results must be within acceptable limits

JPS and environmental standards must be met

Issue ICC only if installation is safe and compliant

Store records according to GER requirements

Key Reminder: Your final declaration directly impacts public safety. Ensure thorough verification before issuing certification.

Scene 15

Professional Responsibility and Excellence

Combines engineering knowledge with local standards and regulations

Upholds transparency, accuracy, and integrity in all inspections

Protects lives and property through diligent inspection practices

Electrical inspection is a professional responsibility that combines technical expertise, ethics, and public safety. Approach every inspection with diligence and integrity to ensure installations are safe, compliant, and energization-ready.
