Industrial Information Service
The JIB Industrial Information Service provides a facility where employment agencies and other bodies who are not electrical contracting firms can obtain verification of gradings for electrical operatives who hold a JIB Grade or who are members of the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS).
Due to the Data Protection Act 1998, only current ECS card holders who have signed the consent form will be included on the Industrial Information Service.
Registration
In order to participate in the service, applicants will have to register with the JIB and pay an monthly subscription fee. When an organisation first joins the service they will be allocated a subscription number. The company name, address and telephone number will also be added to the list of Industrial Information Subscribers on this website.
If an organisation wishes to access the service at more than one branch or office, then each separate branch or office has to be registered and a separate subscription fee paid for each. Download the subscription form.
Operation
The information available will include JIB grade, membership of the ECS, main and additional disciplines in which the operative is registered and other additional qualifications held. Searches will be possible by National Insurance number and name - with the date of birth being available as a validation check.
The JIB Industrial Information Service is now available in the form of a secure website: www.jibiis.org.uk
