Task C-16 Installs, services and maintains raceways, conductors, cables and enclosures
Task descriptor
Raceways support and protect conductors. Enclosures may be used to access and terminate the content of the raceway, and to facilitate the pulling and the interconnection of components. Raceways, conductors and cables are installed in various environments. Construction electricians install, service and maintain raceways, conductors and cables and restore the integrity of the firewall.
For the purpose of this standard, installation includes both new installations and upgrading of systems by removing and replacing components.
Construction electricians service raceways, conductors, cables and enclosures by performing visual inspections, troubleshooting, diagnosing faults, and repairing them. They also perform maintenance to ensure raceways, conductors, cables and enclosures are in good operating condition.
For the purpose of this standard, while cable trays are no longer defined as a raceway under the CEC, cable trays have been included with the raceway sub-task.

Task C-20 Installs, services and maintains exit and emergency lighting systems
Task descriptor
Exit and emergency lighting systems are used to facilitate safe egress (exit) from buildings and access to exit during emergency situations. The systems can be powered by batteries or generators and the required size and placement are determined by building code requirements. Construction electricians install exit and emergency lighting systems.
For the purpose of this standard, installation includes both new installations and upgrading of systems by removing and replacing components.
Construction electricians service exit and emergency lighting systems by performing visual inspections, troubleshooting, diagnosing faults, and repairing them. They also perform maintenance to ensure exit and emergency lighting systems are in good operating condition.
