There are six electrical inspectors in the NWT. The distribution of inspectors is: one electrical inspector in Inuvik to inspect all of the Inuvik Region; one electrical inspector in Iqaluit to inspect all of the Baffin Region; one electrical inspector in Hay River to perform inspections south of Great Slave Lake; two electrical inspectors in Yellowknife, as well as the chief inspector. One of the two electrical inspectors is designated as the elevator inspector for the entire NWT; however, approximately 20 per cent of his time is devoted to general inspections in the Kitikmeot and Keewatin Regions, as well as electrical inspections in and around the Yellowknife area and in other regions as required.
There has been no decrease in the numbers of inspectors in the electrical/elevator safety section of the safety division over the past year.
Thank you.
