Q1. Which Connecticut license specifically authorizes a person
to perform installation, maintenance, alteration, or repair of
conveyor systems?

Journeyperson perform their work?
✅ B. Only while employed by a licensed R-7 Conveyor

R-8 cannot work as an independent contractor or without
supervision .
