About Us

We want to share our safety knowledge.

It is important to understand the four main phases of protection from electrical hazards.

a) First, electrical installations should be designed and constructed to be safe by complying with the criteria of recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices.

b) Second, the integrity of electrical equipment shall be maintained with particular emphasis on enclosures, insulation, operating mechanisms, grounding, and circuit protective devices.

c) Third, unless there are serious overriding circumstances, electrical equipment shall be placed in an electrically safe work condition before personnel work on or near it. Safe practices shall be used to establish an electrically safe work condition.

d) Fourth, safe work practices and adequate protective equipment, tools, and test equipment shall be understood and used when it is not feasible to establish an electrically safe work condition, or when de-energizing would create a greater hazard of another kind.

The details of the above concepts should be studied and documented into a cohesive electrical safety program.

These electrical safety give guidance as to what needs to be done to avoid creating dangerous conditions in the first place, how to recognize them when they do exist, and how to take appropriate precautions to avoid having anyone injured or killed.
