Electrical Safety Audit Service Company in Dubai - UAE

Carelabs is authorized provider of Electrical Installation’s Study, Analysis, Inspection, and Certification services in UAE, and offer electrical safety audit service in UAE.

Electrical Safety is an on-going conversation. 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 could be due to electrical hazards.

Trained professionals will examine your arc flash study, training programs, documentation, and PPE to ensure your electrical safety program is up to date, compliant, and comprehensive. Document safety measures for OSHA audits and compliance comply with the latest NFPA 70E standard.

Benefits Of Electrical Safety Audit

• Compliance with regulations
• Increased levels of safety
• More efficient use of resources
• Clarification of electrical safety responsibilities
• Electrical equipment is required to be maintained so as to avoid danger and to allow the continued use of equipment in service
• Identification and elimination of safety hazards
• Ensuring longevity of expensive electronic equipment like computers and other machines
• Development of a dynamic record of safety performance
• Creation of positive cycle of safety improvement
• Ensuring compliance with Regulatory and industry safety related best practices

Why Electrical Safety Audits (ESA) Necessary?

Identifying potential electrical hazards to prevent or minimize loss of life and property is perceived seriously by many industries the world over. General safety auditing is popular where the objectives & concepts are clear whereas ESA is a specialized area that is still in the process of being understood by many. In factories, around 8% of all fatalities are due to accidents caused by electricity. Data compiled by international organizations like National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), indicate that nearly one fourth of all fires are caused by electrical appliances or installations. Major fire incidents in various types of occupancies over a number of years show that nearly 40% of the fires are initiated by electrical causes such as short circuits, overloading, loose electrical connections.

Although electrical hazards will be identified and assessed in general safety audits, comprehensive electrical safety audits can provide a thorough review of the electrical system. This could identify potential electrical hazards, flaws in design system, maintenance system, etc.

Electrical Safety Audit Service can be broadly classified into 3 major areas namely:

1. Pre-Audit
2. Audit
3. Post-Audit

Pre-Safety Electrical Audit

An effective ESA programme should include elements such as competent audit team formation, pre_audit briefing, collection & review of relevant information (preventive maintenance documentation, accident reports, electrical inspector’s reports, history cards), discussion with safety & electrical officers, plant visit and then the consolidation to the top management.

Defining scope of Electrical Safety audit based on the specific requirement is the first step in the process of Electrical Safety auditing. Typical ESA scope of work could include:

• Physical inspection of the area with reference to standards and other relevant codes of Practice &identifying electrical hazards (shocks, fires, etc.).
• Reviewing the role of electrical safety in the total safety system.
• Review of protection devices / system of the electrical installation.
• Review of adequacy of cables, motors, etc. based on actual load current measurements and cable current carrying capacities.
• Review of electrical accidents to identify root cause of the accidents.
• Review the EPM (Electrical Preventive Maintenance) programme in the plant and to examine the documentation, checklists, work permit, test records, etc. and to suggest recommendations as per applicable standards.
• To identify training needs of the plant employees from the point of view of electrical safety.
• To evaluate the earthling system (installation and maintenance) in the plant based on IS 3043 and to suggest recommendations.
• Review of the following test records, evaluating the test results and to suggest recommendations as per applicable standards.
• Transformer oil test.
• Insulation Resistance Tests.
• Earth Resistance tests.(The checking of test procedures and checking of test result interpretations are also part of this exercise).
• To evaluate the potential electrical fire hazards in the plant electrical installation and to suggest fire protection measures as per applicable standards and Indian Electricity Rules.
• To identify the ESD (Electro-Static Hazards in the plant and to suggest recommendations as per applicable standards

The pre-audit questionnaire for ESA could include the following aspects:

• Process detai.
