An electrical safety audit comprehensively assesses electrical systems and infrastructure within a building, facility, or industrial setting to evaluate electrical safety, power efficiency, regulatory compliance, and overall performance for sectors such as Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, mines, Banking and commercial buildings.
Regular electrical safety audits are recommended, typically every year depending on the nature of business operations and respective regulatory requirements. These regulations are primarily governed by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) (Measures relating to Safety and Electric Supply) Regulations, 2023. In addition to CEA, the other regulatory bodies & regulations come from State Electricity Boards (SEB), the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) & the National Building Code of India (NBC).
An efficient electrical safety audit, through checks on wiring, equipment, earthing systems, and safety devices, helps minimise the risk of electric shock, fire, and other electrical accidents originating from the electrical infrastructure. It also identifies potential hazards, energy inefficiencies, and compliance issues, ensuring the safety of employees and assets. Prioritizing electrical safety contributes to a secure and efficient working environment for individuals as well as the industry.
