Electrical Safety

Electrical Safety: Electrical shock is the 2nd highest cause of industrial fatality. Almost thousands of people meet with an accident with electricity out of which 60% got dead due to electrical shocks so it is very important to take extra precautions while working on or near to electricity.

Electricity is a major contributor to industrial fire. In flammable chemical industries failure of electrical equipment generate sparks (Heat) that work as an ignition source for fire and resulted in a major fire or explosion. Short-circuit in an electrical line is also one of the reasons behind some fires. The use of industrial vehicles (i.e cranes, Hydra, MEWP, boom lifter, etc.) increased in the last few years and it witnessed many accidents while it touches overhead powerlines during movement or operations.

In a residential fire, almost 80% of the fire is just because of a failure of electrical equipment or overloading of electrical power sources. In this type of fire, people lost their entire life earnings and overall billions of dollars vanished just because of a lack of awareness about electrical safety. All of the above conditions are easily avoided if appropriate electrical safety precautions are taken place.

Industries must prioritize safety by making sure frequent training and Controls are put in place to avoid electrical shocks, electrocution and so forth and also making sure keen retrospective inspection is done to identify hazard/risk. Thanks
