The simple answer is, NO one should work with live electrical parts.
however, testing live part, so long right test tools and methods are followed is OK.
after training and experience in the field, electricians judge how fan one work with live parts. not saying they do work with live parts. but they know how to work around live areas and cutting the power off areas they must work with without the disturbance of any other area.

Yes, an industrial electrician can work on commercial buildings, as their training typically includes a broad range of electrical systems and applications. However, they may need to familiarize themselves with specific codes and standards applicable to commercial settings. Depending on local regulations, additional certifications or licenses may also be required to ensure compliance with commercial electrical work. Overall, their skills are transferable, but some adaptation may be necessary.
That depends entirely on the electrician and his hourly rates as well as what he charges just to show up. A light switch replacement is typically considered to be minor work, and many states allow such work to be performed under the local "handyman" regulations. A handyman may cost quite a bit less than an electrician for such a job, and his work can be just as competent as an electrician.
Electrician's hard hats are usually made of plastic. Depending on the work environment, hard hats can be made of durable polystyrene or polycarbonates, or even more durably from fiberglass over metal. Electrician's gear is designed to be electrically non-conductive.
An electrician is responsible for installing, maintaining, and repairing electrical systems and equipment in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Their tasks include wiring buildings, troubleshooting electrical issues, ensuring compliance with safety codes, and upgrading electrical systems to enhance efficiency. Electricians also perform regular inspections and may work with various tools and technologies to diagnose and resolve electrical problems. Additionally, they often collaborate with other construction professionals to ensure that electrical work aligns with overall project plans.
Yes! compared to industrial or commercial wiring, residential wiring is very basic. A Journeyman electricain is expected to have experience in all 3 fields.
Actually just saying electrician is quite vague. There are residential, commercial (mall stores office buildings, etc) industrial construction (new installations) ,industrial maintenance (in a mill setting) and service van electricians (maybe fix a light or fix your hot water heater). So as you can see an "electricians work day" has quite a variety.
A maintenance electrician can specialize in engineering technology if they are creative. This will allow them to create gadgets that solve problems.

Industrial Electricians work in manufacturing plants, factories, power plants, ect. Rigid conduit is the usual raceway used, but also pvc coated rigid is common. also an industrial electrician will install and connect motors as well as motor control centers.

The pay of an electrician depends on the company they work for and where in the country they work. If the work is more dangerous then typical electrician work, they may get paid more money.

Commercial electricians work in commercial locations such as stores and offices, mainly installing general use power outlets and lighting in buildings.Industrial electricians work in places of industry such as factories, mines, chemical plants, power plants, etc. Industrial electricians work mainly with high voltage power distribution systems and machinery.Also the wiring methods will be different. In Commercial most of the wiring is done using EMT and MC cable. In Industrial most of the conduit is RMC. In commercial it is mostly general power and lighting, but in industrial there are also motors and control and instrumentation circuitry involved.
A residential electrician works with single phase power (120/240 volts), runs romex cable through the wood (usually) walls, installs receptacles, switches, lights, panel, meter. . .Can work on new houses and remodels. An industrial electrician works with single phase and three phase power (120/208, 240, 277/480) usually runs conduit or cable trays to protect the wiring from damage, can install receptacles, switches, lights, panels, meter, switchgear, motors, motor controls, transformers. . . Can work on new plants or remodels.
Yes, you need to do work as a helper to an electrician before you can be certified. It usually takes a couple of years of experience.
