(b) Have on the job site a continuously employed full-time supervising electrician; or

(c) Be available in person, or have a supervising electrician available to meet with the jurisdictional inspector at the job site within two business days following the request.

(2) Electrical contractors who have more than one designated continuously employed full-time signing supervising electrician shall assign only one signing supervising electrician responsibility for the work being performed under each valid permit.

(3) When an electrical contractor has only one designated signing supervising electrician, the electrical contractor may not use a different signing supervising electrician until the designated signing supervising electrician has discontinued the signing supervising electrician responsibilities and written notice has been provided to the division. The electrical contractor shall not continue electrical work until another signing supervising electrician is employed and written notification is provided to the division.

(4) Electrical contractors shall notify the division in writing who their signing supervising electrician(s) is. Notification shall be provided within five days of entering into or termination of that relationship.

(5) Worker leasing companies, as defined in ORS 656.850, shall notify the division within five business days of any contractual relationship or change in a contractual relationship with an electrical contractor.

Electrical contractors and signing supervising electricians who utilize worker leasing companies are responsible for assuring compliance with the provisions of ORS Chapter 479 and the rules adopted thereunder.
