Improving Reliability Through Electrical Safety Audit at a Retail Company

Compliance can be difficult for retailers, especially for the ones who have large property portfolios scattered across diverse locations and with a wide range of statutory obligations. Electrical Safety Inspection & Audit of Electrical Installation, in particular, necessitates specialized knowledge and a rigorous approach to ensure compliance.

Our client, a prominent retail organization with over 50 branches in the UAE, was looking for a reliable compliance partner. This portfolio encompasses 23 locations, where an adequate electrical safety inspection, including risk assessments and audit of electrical installation, would be crucial to ensure the safety of employees and consumers. They approached Carelabs, experts in testing, inspection, and certification with a dedicated team of experts operating globally to assist them.

Carelabs offered our client a comprehensive compliance package that includes the physical inspection, thermography testing, earth test, and power quality analysis of panels. The client’s services are delivered by a team of skilled technicians that collaborate closely with the client’s on-site team to guarantee effective and proactive delivery.

Carelabs has been delivering comprehensive Electrical Safety Inspection services for the entire portfolio of locations as part of this solution for over five years, incorporating:

Carelabs has executed over 20 projects for the client, assisting with programs around UAE, ranging from basic safety tests to major installation component replacement.

As part of this solution, Carelabs conducted a thorough risk assessment, after which the re-inspection and survey schedule were re-engineered to ensure that resources were targeted on the highest risk areas. Lower risk locations stayed compliant while being serviced at a lower cost.

This allowed us to show genuine cost savings as well as a demonstrable improvement in service at high-risk areas. We were also able to decrease re-inspection expenses by integrating these inspections with forthcoming Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) inspections, obviating the need for a second visit.
