Electrical Safety Audits
In process industries, fires due to electrical reasons are very probable, especially in industries that handle flammable chemicals. In service industries such as information technology, telecommunications, banking, and other commercial establishments, business interruption losses due to electrical hazards (fire in server room, damage of expensive communication equipment, loss of data, fire in cable gallery, etc.) could be substantial.
Our area of expertise and solutions include:
- Consolidated research of statutes with respect to Central Electricity Authority/Indian Electricity Rules.
- Adequate inspection to identify the root causes of electrical hazards (like shock, fire, explosion, overloading etc) and to suggest best possible electrical safety solutions by our team of experts.
- Review of plant lightning protection system as per the personalized need, adequacy, installation, and regular maintenance by our team of experts.
- Analysis of static electricity hazards in the plant operations and other malfunctions that might cause any hindrances.
- Evaluation of hazardous area classification and selection of wide flameproof electrical equipment in the desired area, including its effective maintenance.
- Assessment of electrical preventive maintenance system including their proper tests, necessary documentation, and its history records.
- Appraisal of accidents caused by electrical failures, malfunctions and identifying its root causes in the plant.
- Examination of electrical systems & procedures of work permits, interlocks, and lockout tags etc.
- Inspection regarding importance is given to electrical safety in the company’s safety policy and in compliance with the relevant laws and permissions required, holdings of the safety committee and continuous electrical risk identification, etc.
