An individual is a qualified and certified person, within the meaning of this
chapter, to perform electrical work, other than work on energized surface, high
voltage lines, if he has at least one (1) year of experience under direct
supervision of a qualified electrician in performing electrical work underground
in a coal mine, in the surface work areas of an underground coal mine, in a
surface coal mine, in a noncoal mine, in the mine equipment manufacturing
industry, or in any other industry using or manufacturing similar equipment, and
he attains a satisfactory grade on each of the series of written tests
administered by the department and required in subsection (2) of this section.
The series of written tests shall include, but not be limited to, the following
subjects:
(a) Direct current theory and application;
(b) Alternating current theory and application;
(c) Electric equipment and circuits;
(d) Permissibility of electric equipment;
(e) Requirements of both federal and state laws; and
(f) Pertinent sections of the National Electrical Code.
A score of at least eighty (80) percent on each of the written tests shall be
deemed to be a satisfactory grade. Recognition shall be given to practical
experience in that one (1) percentage point shall be added to an individual's
score in each test for each additional year of experience beyond the one (1)
year minimum requirement specified in subsection (1) of this section; however,
in no case shall an individual be given more than five (5) percentage points for
such practical experience.
An individual may, within thirty (30) days from the date on which he received
notification from the department of his test scores, repeat those sections on
which he received an unsatisfactory score. If further retesting is necessary after
this initial repetition, a minimum of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of
notification of the initial retest scores shall elapse prior to such further retesting,
whereupon the entire series of written tests shall be retaken.
An individual qualified and certified in accordance with this section shall, in
order to retain qualification and certification, satisfactorily complete annually a
retraining program approved by the department.
