No. I would need to own the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and the cheapest version is $190 for the PDF. It gets superceded every few years so that adds up to a pretty big investment. For anything big I'm hiring a licensed electrician then teaching them why they need to pull independent neutrals that they otherwise won't pull base on their experience wiring office buildings.
The intent is to only allow people who have completed the proscribed training..
Just a reminder to check with the local jurisdiction to see what version of NEC may be applicable and if there are revisions referenced. For example, according to the related web sites, where I live uses NEC 2008 while the City of Atlanta uses NEC 2005 with Georgia Amendments, however the State now uses NEC 2011 with no amendments so in theory they would all be using NEC 2011. In this case I think it is simply the web sites not being updated, however it is possible for a state or local jurisdiction to use an older version.
Do I own a copy of the NEC?Many questions come up here that can be answered from the text of the National Electrical Code. If you're a competent entertainment electrical technician you need to have a copy, and understand what the Code says.
Many of your colleagues in the entertainment industry have worked long and hard for many years to make the Code representative of best practice in our industry.
Please, make the NEC an essential part of your toolbox and your work ethic!
It's not hard to acquire, nor is it expensive!
