ESA Regulations and Licensing for Electrical Professionals in Ontario

The Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) regulates electrical contractors and master electricians in Ontario under the Electricity Act, 1998, and its associated regulations, such as 570/05 and the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. The ESA requires electrical professionals and businesses to obtain a licence to perform electrical work, ensuring that they meet specific standards related to experience, competency, insurance, and professionalism. Additionally, the ESA has the authority to refuse, suspend, limit, or revoke licenses, with a Director overseeing administrative decisions in these matters.

At Aouchiche Law Firm (ALF), we provide expert legal counsel to electrical contractors and master electricians facing licensing issues, disputes with the ESA, or any other regulatory concerns. We are committed to protecting your professional standing and ensuring you meet all ESA requirements.
