Ontario’s ESA Seeks Adjudicative and Industry Professionals to Sit on ESA Review Panel

Nov 11, 2018

As part of the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA)’s review and modernization of its appeals process, ESA is expanding and diversifying its Review Panel Roster. ESA is seeking individuals with adjudicative experience as well as members with expertise in relevant industries regulated by ESA, including product safety, licensing and certification, utilities, standards, and the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. Deadline for submission: December 7, 2018.

As a member of the Review Panel Roster, you will hear appeals involving ESA orders and licensing decisions involving licensed electrical contractors and master electricians. Typically, these hearings are conducted by three members sitting as a panel.

The Review Panel Roster includes industry representative members and public members. Industry representative members are those experienced with ESA-administered regulations, such as licensing, product safety, utility regulation and the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. Public members are individuals who have previous adjudicative experience and will act as presiding member of the panel. Each panel will have a presiding member who will be required to preside over hearings, write decisions and reasons. Review panel members may be assigned to conduct pre-hearings, settlement conferences and motion hearings.
