What is the name of your state? Illinois/Indiana/Wisconsin/Michigan
I am employeed by a company as a sales consultant/representative. I was told when when I took the job that I might have to go to the customers site to problem solve issues. After a few weeks on the job I found out that I am expected to fix/repair products that are electrically connected to the power system at the end users site. I have no formal electrical training or certification and my company has not provided me any training or information on what to do. I call my boss and have him walk me through repairs that involve shutting off breakers, checking wall switches and wiring. Is this legal? and am I personally liable for any damage that I may cause at the site? Is the company liable if I hurt myself?
Thank you.
