Training on Electrical Safety

Electrical safety training is a crucial aspect of maintaining a safe and secure worksite. It is designed to educate employees about the potential hazards when working with or around electricity and how to mitigate these risks.

Our training typically covers topics such as recognizing electrical hazards and learning about safety equipment and procedures. With a thorough understanding of various standards such as IEEE 1584, NFPA 70, IEEE 80, IEEE 81, etc. our engineers will recommend and implement necessary safety solutions with emphasis on the importance of following safety protocols such as de-energizing electrical equipment before performing maintenance and using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Moreover, it highlights the dangers of overloading circuits, using damaged electrical equipment, and working on electrical systems without proper authorization or knowledge. The training also stresses the significance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure electrical systems and equipment are in good working condition.

By participating in our electrical safety training, your employees can gain valuable knowledge and skills to protect themselves and their coworkers from electrical accidents. This not only contributes to a safer work environment but also promotes productivity and efficiency. Moreover, this leads to saving money in the long term.

Electricity is a powerful and useful resource, but it can be deadly if not handled correctly. Therefore, electrical safety training is not just a regulatory requirement; it’s a life-saving necessity.

Arc Flash Risk Assessment

An Arc Flash Risk Assessment is a critical component of any comprehensive electrical safety program. It goes beyond mere testing to evaluate the likelihood and potential severity of arc flash incidents. This assessment combines incident energy analysis with a systematic review of the facility's electrical safety practices, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) standards, and employee training programs.

The assessment is part of a complete electrical analysis required by NFPA 70E and NFPA 70. Using calculations prescribed by IEEE 1584, it determines the incident energy to which a worker may be exposed and how to protect the worker from the heat, light, and blast associated with an arc flash accident.

The goal of an arc flash risk assessment is to ensure worker safety, first and foremost. But beyond that, a sustainably maintained assessment saves money in the long term. It adopts a holistic risk management methodology using the 4Ps of Predict, Prevent, Processand Protect to ensure that arc flash hazards are systematically identified, analysed, and prevented from causing harm.
