17th Edition - Indy Maint Sparks?

[brookster]

New gig - seems I now require the 17th edition to do maintenance in an Industrial workplace - past jobs in maint never needed it. Any one know the regs for sure if I need it, I always though I never.
Not complaining right enough - will be working on 3 phase gear and some light SCADA and some maint in buildings too. But no installs except for repairs.

Whether Industrial, commercial, domestic, petrol stations, testing and inspection, maintenance, it is irrelevant, being a spark with understanding of the regulations at the current level which is now 17th edition Green edition is a must IMO, if your not get on a course and get on with it, I would not employ a 16th edition spark, too many differences, especially regarding special locations and zoning, get down to the local college man before you lose your Job.

I don't doubt your very qualified and probably better than 90% of those who have more qualifications, but theres no excuse to sit in the 16th edition bus, get on with it man
