Ontario Electrical Safety Code (24th Edition/2009)

The Electrical Safety Authority will be introducing the 24th Edition of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code in the spring 2009. This edition of the OESC is the first update in 7 years, and introduces 255 changes to reflect changes from both the Canadian Electrical Code and the Ontario amendments.

Starting in early 2009, ESA is offering Ontario Electrical Safety Code training workshops to provide the electrical industry with an overview of “key changes” to the OESC. OESC training will be provided by electrical inspectors who have been specifically trained on the Code changes, and can assist in providing clarification on compliance requirements.

To ensure that the unique needs of our customers are addressed, ESA is offering two workshops on the new OESC:

“General” Workshop – Includes all major changes to the OESC (24th Edition/2009).
“Residential” Workshop – Includes all OESC changes that are specific to single-dwelling installations.

Workshops will be scheduled throughout February and March 2009 at a price of $150.00 (plus GST) per attendee.
