What is the role of the Qualified Supervisor?

A Qualified Supervisor is the electrically competent person with specific responsibility for the safety, technical standard and quality of electrical installation work completed under their supervision.

In smaller organisations the same person can fulfil the roles of Qualified Supervisor and Principal Duty Holder. 
 
A Qualified Supervisor is responsible for:
 
  • Ensuring that the results of inspection and testing are recorded correctly on the appropriate certificates or reports.
  • Ensuring that the business’ premises, equipment, documentation and records are available for inspection when required by NICEIC.
  • Safeguarding all unused NICEIC forms of certification and reporting any loss, theft or misuse.

A proposed Qualified Supervisor should:
 
  • Be directly employed by the business on a full-time basis.
  • Have at least two years’ evidence of responsibility for the technical standard of electrical work and evidence of ongoing Continuous Professional Development.
  • Satisfy the technical training and/or experience requirements.
  • Understand the Electricity at Work Regulations, current edition of BS 7671, and the Codes of Practice and guidance documents relevant to the range of electrical work undertaken.
