TECHNICAL EDUCATION - Former Chief Electrical Inspector for Vancouver, Canada, Ark Tsisserev, is pictured here during a dynamic presentation to Electrical Engineers and Electricians during a one-day electrical code seminar. Also shown is Baha Mar’s Senior Mechanical Engineering and Plumbing Manager, Milton Morgan.
Associate member of the CSA, Quentin Knowles, noted the importance of the seminar as substantial education is required to be in compliance with the code. “Electrical codes are very complex. It is not practical for a small jurisdiction like The Bahamas to write our own electrical code because of the complex nature. Mr. Tsisserev can offer a depth of knowledge on the code that only the chair can offer,” he said.
The Canadian Electrical Code Part I committee amends the codes every three years.
