Tricky one that. Having received 120v shock between the metal grid and the earth on the klix fittings it is something to consider carefully. The building in question is steel girder and metal roofs with block work and concrete floors. There are three buildings on site and two had this problem. We have in one set jack chain and fluors off of metal girders/roof trusses all metal. In the other Cat II 600 x 600 fluors. One of the failures in the original install was the fly lead from SWA gland and earth bus bar was not installed. It took some thinking about to obviate the problem. So I would say careful consideration and testing before deciding one way or the other.

NOT taking the P--s Megawatt, grateful if you could set my mind at rest , what constitutes a Master Electrician in the US or Canada? when I was working short term in Canada, I got told by the sales person in "Home Depot" you can't have such and such unless you are a Master Electrician, so I asking out of genuine concern, no intention of deriding the term in any way just curious.

A master electrician is someone who has moved past the apprentice and journeyman stages of their career. ... A journeyman electrician will not have the same experience or licenses as a master electrician. Journeymen may be able to work independently, but do not have complete autonomy.

Basically, just experience, and a different license.

Journeyman would be in my eyes, when I finished my apprenticeship, I was considered an improver for a year after. Qualified, but still needed to pass designs etc through someone more senior.
