Electrical Safety Audit

Risk in electrical work is higher than any other job. Any flaw in electrical circuit in the workplace could make the system less efficient or put the lives of employees at higher risk. People involved in the electrical job should remain high alert for each and every second.

This scenario becomes the root cause of most of the electrical accidents. This is the reason, a corrective action investigation in the form of electrical audit is necessitated in all the workplaces.
