Major Work Activity C – Installs, services and maintains wiring systems
Task C‑16 Installs, services and maintains raceways, cables and enclosures.
Task Descriptor
Raceways support and protect conductors. Enclosures may be used to access and terminate the content of the raceway, and to facilitate the pulling and the interconnection of components. Raceways and cables are installed in various environments. Construction electricians install, service and maintain raceways and conductors and restore openings in firewalls.
For the purpose of this standard, installation includes both new installations and upgrading of systems by removing and replacing components.
Construction electricians service raceways, cables and enclosures by performing visual inspections, troubleshooting, diagnosing faults, and repairing them. They also perform maintenance to ensure raceways, cables and enclosures are in good operating condition.
Industry Expected Performance
The task must be performed according to the applicable jurisdictional codes and standards. All health and safety standards must be respected. Work should be done efficiently and at a high quality without material waste or harm to the environment. All requirements of the manufacturer, client specifications and the AHJ must be met.
At a journeyperson level of performance, all tasks must be done with minimal direction and supervision.

Task C‑18 Installs, services and maintains power and controls for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Task Descriptor
Cooling and ventilation systems can be installed by other trades, but are electrically connected by construction electricians. Construction electricians connect HVAC systems and install, service and maintain HVAC system controls.
For the purpose of this standard, installation includes both new installations and upgrading of systems by removing and replacing components.
Construction electricians service HVAC system controls by performing visual inspections, troubleshooting, diagnosing faults, and repairing them. They also perform maintenance to ensure HVAC system controls are in good operating condition.
Industry Expected Performance
The task must be performed according to the applicable jurisdictional codes and standards. All health and safety standards must be respected. Work should be done efficiently and at a high quality without material waste or harm to the environment. All requirements of the manufacturer, client specifications and the AHJ must be met.
At a journeyperson level of performance, all tasks must be done with minimal direction and supervision.

Construction electricians install exit and emergency lighting systems.
For the purpose of this standard, installation includes both new installations and upgrading of systems by removing and replacing components.
Construction electricians service exit and emergency lighting systems by performing visual inspections, troubleshooting, diagnosing faults, and repairing them. They also perform maintenance to ensure exit and emergency lighting systems are in good operating condition.
Industry Expected Performance
The task must be performed according to the applicable jurisdictional codes and standards. All health and safety standards must be respected. Work should be done efficiently and at a high quality without material waste or harm to the environment. All requirements of the manufacturer, client specifications and the AHJ must be met.
At a journeyperson level of performance, all tasks must be done with minimal direction and supervision.
