Electrical authorization is now a regulatory requirement for all workers who carry out operations on or near electrical installations. It requires prior training.
It is the recognition, by one's employer, of a person's ability to safely perform assigned tasks.
Authorization is not directly linked to hierarchical position or professional classification. It is formalized by a document issued by the employer, signed by both the employer and the authorized individual. The employer's granting of authorization does not absolve the employer of liability.
Authorization alone does not authorize its holder to independently carry out the operations for which they are authorized. They must also be appointed by their employer to perform these operations. Assignment to a specific job position may constitute an implicit designation.
