Electrician

Every light in the house should be working. You don’t want a potential home buyer to flip a switch and nothing happens. It sends a bad signal.

If a light isn’t working check the obvious. Is it plugged in? If the bulb isn’t working then change it.

When you have checked all the lights make note of the ones that aren’t. Are they grouped in one room or along one wall? It could be a circuit breaker issue and you can fix it by flipping a switch.

Try mixing and matching lamps and outlets to determine if the fault is in the lamp or the house’s electrical system. If it’s the outlet, mark it with some blue tape so you can remember where the issues are for later. Unless you have the skills to wire an outlet, leave it for a professional, there is plenty more you can do on your own.

If you are asking what triage means it is the method used by emergency medical staff both out in the field (EMT) as well as in ED in hospital. It is how patients are are graded regarding the severity of their condition, from something very minor and non-life threatening through to something very serious and life-threatening. EMT's in assessing casualties also grade patients who are unlikely to survive inspite of medical intervention and of course those who are already dead. It is meant to ensure that the patients who need intervention the most get it first, more minor things can wait.

A journeyman is someone who has learned a trade or a craft under a master. Once he has finished his apprentice training, his next step is to find employment to continue learning the skills needed to become a self-employed master.

Here is a quick list:

follow safety rules and guidelines (check OSHA for US)
Have the right PPE or Personal Protective Equipment
Get the right safety training

Thats kind of diffacult to answer because each company is different as is each city. The Union shops give the best overall benifits, if you can stand all the redtape. Most reputable companys will at least give a break on insurance and vacation time. Paid holidays and sick days are rare. 401K plans are fairly commonin the bigger companies. So it really varies and basicaly its up to the indavidual to make the best deal they can.

Electrician tools often have handles made of plastic, rubber, or wood because these materials provide insulation against electric shocks. This is essential when working with live electrical circuits to minimize the risk of electric shock or injury. These materials also offer a comfortable grip and are generally durable enough to withstand the demands of everyday use.
