Electrical Safety Audits

Electricity is a boon for mankind, making life easier and more comfortable. However, it can become extremely dangerous if circuits are not adequately protected. Electricity is one of the primary sources of ignition, leading to fires and explosions in industries and buildings that handle hazardous operations and materials.

According to available statistics, electrical issues are responsible for 30% of industrial accidents. The consequences of electrical hazards can range from minor shocks and equipment loss to fatal accidents, causing significant damage to both plants and individuals.

Electrical Safety Audits (ESA) are crucial for identifying areas where standards may be deteriorating, risks or vulnerabilities exist, and potential hazards and accidents in plants. These audits help determine necessary actions to minimize hazards and ensure the effectiveness and relevance of safety measures. Our experienced professionals conduct these audits to reduce personnel risks and ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
