Section 91

Every electrical worker appointed to operate or to be in charge of or to control any electrical or supply installation and every person granted an electrical or supply installation licence who become aware of a defect in any electrical or supply installation shall forthwith make good or remove the defect or make a report thereon to the Board.

Where a report is made to the Board under subsection (1), the Board may by notice posted on the premises where the electrical or supply installation is installed or working, or served upon the person granted an electrical or supply installation licence or the electrical worker who is appointed to operate or to be in charge of or to control the electrical or supply installation, as the case may be, require the defect to be made good or removed within such period as may be specified in the notice, and the electrical or supply installation shall not be operated or used after the expiration of that period unless the defect has been made good or removed to the satisfaction of the Board.

If the Board is of the opinion that the defect is likely to cause immediate danger, the Board may, by notice posted or served as mentioned in subsection (2), forthwith suspend the operation and use of the electrical or supply installation until the defect is made good or removed, and the electrical or supply installation shall not be operated or used so long as the notice of suspension remains in force.

The Board shall not be liable for the loss or damage caused to any person by the suspension of the operation and use of any electrical or supply installation under this section or by the suspension or revocation of an electrical or supply installation licence under section 92.

Any person who contravenes or fails to comply with any of the provisions of subsection (1), (2) or (3) shall be guilty of an offence.
