Licenced Electrical Worker (LEW)
Licenced Electrical Worker (LEW) refers to a competent person who is able to carry out electrical works and holds a licence issued by the Energy Market Authority (EMA). All electrical works, such as new installations, additions and modifications to existing installations, shall be undertaken and tested by a licenced electrical worker (LEW). This is to ensure that the electrical works (design, installation and operation) comply with the requirements stated in the electricity act (chapter 89A). It is an offence for the owner or occupier of any premises to engage knowingly any person who is not a Licenced electrical worker to carry out electrical works.
